How does the vinyl overlay hold up to the weather? Have you had any experience driving it long term?

Stickercity has been wrapping wheels for awhile now so I assume they should hold up just fine. Wrap vinyl is very durable and can withstand pretty severe conditions. I WILL post back if I have any issues.

I'll get some closeups for you, I only wrapped the outer lip and outside of the spokes, the rest of the wheel was already a graphite/gunmetal so it provides a nice subtle contrast to the gloss black vinyl. Wrapping the entire wheel would be a bee-atch

I have no doubt the vinyl will hold up, damn the only thing I'm worried about is this crappy Infiniti paint staying on my car, never seen such chip-happy stuff. I think I'll be vinyl wrapping my G in a year or so, for about $550 (and my beer stained labor) it's a steal.
BTW Andy, hope your business is booming, you're the vinyl guru!

I bought a 4 foot section (it comes in sheets 5 feet wide) so 20 sq.ft. of the vinyl (about $45) I was hoping to have enough left over to wrap the grill but F-d up the first one .
Hoping to pic up that chin spoiler soon, like you said it should go well w/ the rest of the car.
Thanks for the kind words
