Yeah I had the same problem with taping my wheels... I'm surprised you got it to stick. One guy (from another forum) got so frustrated because masking tape wouldn't stick he used elmer's glue and painted it on... I thought that was pretty clever.

I clean the tires really good before taping, so im guessing that help the tape to stick better. Theres so much duct tape on there it might pull the tire off the wheel later. lol

Thanks for the comments

looks good. you can also use index cards and put them around the crevices where the rim meets the tire. a lot easier and it takes like 2 minutes, also works amazing. ill try to find some pics so you can understand what i mean.
