I will bet you all $100.00 US dollars that the pimply little bugger that works in my dealerships tire changing department could wound those pretty decals badly with just one visit!

They do look good however!

Well, I finally put the decals on. First time doing it, so I made a few mistakes in the beginning. Few suggestions: Put a clean towel on the ground next to the tire. I allowed the tape to touch the ground and had to throw it out because a few pieces of sand stuck to it (they provide 4 extra pieces thankfully!). Apply to the rim slowly in half-inch increments using both thumbs.

That does look nice. Makes me want red ones for mine.

How do these stickers hold up during/after a tire change?

Good question. I didn't give that any thought when I put them on. I'm gonna guess that if changing the tire doesn't scratch the rim, the stickers should be okay....I hope.

Looks like the decals are below the rolled edge that forms the bead of the rims, so tire changes shouldn't damage the decals unless the monkey changing the tire is ham fisted.

I put red reflective tape on my wheels, (black 2007 1250s) but before I did it I went to the dealer to ask if it woud take them right off just to change a tire. They told me to go ahead with the reflective decals as the tire change machine would get now where near where the strips are applied. It also gives me ten times the visibility as the solid black wheel and I am all about being seen among the "car driving monsters". They look really good too and the red ties in with the red on the tank.
