How to remove stickers from wheels?

My wheels came with the Concept Five stickers on each wheel. I would love to take them off so that they look a little cleaner. Anyone have any ideas on how to get them off without wrecking the wheel? They feel like really thin stickers. I can't imagine that they clearcoated over the top of them. I just need something to loosen them up a bit so I can get them off I guess.

have you tried a hairdrier and your fingernails?? if not, that may work, or you could use a credit card to pry up the edges of the stickers and just pull....

Proceed very, very carefully. I once removed a sticker from a motorcycle helmet that did not seem to be cleared over. When I got it off their was no finish under the sticker. It was like the manufacturer had painted right up to it and stopped. It was not a good idea.

I'd look into trying to find some matching paint in case removing the labels leaves an impression. After seeing the thread on fixing curb rash on that Porsche wheel and how good it looked afterwards, I think you could paint that one spoke and no one would know, if it has to be done.
