Wheel Sticker Question
Guys, hope you can help. So the 9.5" wheels on my '87 have these goofy stickers on em. I'm sure they're '80s garbage, but just in case, I thought I'd check with you before I remove them. Wanted to make sure they weren't part of some factory appearance package. The car has been in the family since new so I know it came from the dealer with these, but I'm guessing they're just dealer add on crap.
Thanks for your help.

They are probably a home made dealer sticker or somebody found them in a catalog. Certainly nothing that came from Bowling Green.
If they are a vinyl sticker, they should come off with a heat gun and then you can clean any adhesive off with something like Goo-Gone or even WD-40.

Sorta like an AMC Gremlin; vintage doesn't also mean cool, LOL. As I said, the car came with the decals new from the dealer, so I guess they were a cheesy dealer add on. Unless someone else knows anything about them, off they'll come. I'll try the heat gun suggestion. Thank you for your help.
