FAQs

What size rims does this sticker kit fit?

This kit is specifically designed for 21-inch front rims and 18-inch rear rims.

What material is the sticker made from?

The stickers are made from the highest quality vinyl.

Are there any other stickers included?

Yes, the packaging includes Apico Factory Racing stickers for application on the swing arm or fork area.

How do I clean the stickers?

Clean the rims with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washing directly on the sticker edges.

Can these stickers be removed?

Yes, vinyl stickers can typically be removed. Gentle heat from a hairdryer can help soften the adhesive, making removal easier. Be aware that some residue may remain, requiring cleaning.

Will these stickers fit aftermarket rims?

As long as the aftermarket rims are standard 21" front and 18" rear sizes and have a relatively smooth surface, the stickers should fit. However, very custom rim shapes might present challenges.

Where are these stickers manufactured?

These stickers are made in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Stickers not adhering properly

Ensure the rim surface is completely clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Reheat the sticker slightly with a hairdryer and reapply, pressing firmly. For stubborn areas, a specialized vinyl adhesion promoter (used sparingly) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Air bubbles trapped under the sticker

Carefully lift the edge of the sticker near the bubble and use a pin to prick a tiny hole in the bubble. Then, smooth the sticker down firmly to release the air. Alternatively, gently reheat the area and smooth out the bubble.

Stickers won't conform to rim curves

Apply gentle heat with a hairdryer on a low setting while stretching and pressing the sticker into place. This makes the vinyl more pliable. Ensure you are not overstretching, which can distort the design or weaken the adhesive.

Cutting excess material is difficult

Use a very sharp hobby knife or razor blade. Make slow, controlled cuts. Practicing on a scrap piece of vinyl first can help you get a feel for the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for 21-inch front rims and 18-inch rear rims. Ensure your wheel sizes match these specifications before application.

Setup Instructions:

  1. Clean Rims: Thoroughly clean the rim surface. Remove any dirt, grease, or old sticker residue. A clean, dry surface is crucial for adhesion.
  2. Prepare Stickers: Gently unpack the stickers. For easier application, you can lightly warm the stickers using a hairdryer on a low setting.
  3. Apply to Rim: Carefully peel the backing from the sticker. Align the sticker with the edge of the rim and apply it slowly, working from one end to the other. Smooth out any air bubbles as you go. Use a squeegee or credit card to press the sticker firmly onto the rim.
  4. Trim Excess: If necessary, carefully trim any excess sticker material with a sharp hobby knife.
  5. Apply Additional Stickers: Place the provided Apico Factory Racing stickers on your swing arm or fork as desired.

Care: Clean rims with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the sticker edges, as this can cause lifting. Do not use harsh chemicals.
