What to use to affix the ///m sticker back onto the wheel?

11' AW M3 · 09-16-2010, 11:22 PM

As the title states, I am looking for suggestions on what to use to put the little ///m stickers back onto my wheels. My shop used silicone, but it is not holding. Any suggestions?

If you don't want it to ever come off...epoxy.

Try an automotive paint store. 3M has some body trim adhesives (including adhesive tapes) one of which should do the trick.

Need to bring this topic back to the top as I'm now in the same situation as you.

What did you end up doing to make the M sticker logo stick? Where'd you buy the stickers, stealership?

I needed stickers for my winter Alugfelgen CS7s. I'm trying out some from ebay. Bought a sheet of 10, just in case they fly off. Just stuck them on last night, so I'll see how it goes.

Right on. Yeah, I called the dealership they want $6.50 EACH for those stickers. Talk about bending over

,damn.

They told me the adhesive on the back of the stickers should be good enough to stick on the wheels without them coming off. We'll see I guess. Sounds like your stickers are on there pretty good, keep us posted if anything changes.

Use a single drop of Crazy Glue. Worked great for me.

50km so far and all 4 ebay stickers still surviving.

Awesome

Yeah, 2 of my $7each M logo stickers fell off the powdercoated wheels over the weekend. The surface was very clean when I put them on, but I just don't think the adhesive on the stickers can stick very well on the powdercoated finish of the wheels.

Not sure if I'm going to purchase the Ebay ones or go back to the dealership. So crazy glue sounds like the answer. I was going to just try and sand that little area down, but I kinda like the glue idea better. What a pain
