   i wouldnt say hard as such just takes along time and have to go slow so you get it on right, i washed my wheels first then dried them then used a hair dryer to help apply the tape to the wheel i found that when the wheel was cold it just peeled back off within couple hours but since ive used the hair dryer has been on there for about 3-4months and still looks really good and aint peeled i got mine from halfords was about £3.00 i think and you get more than enough i did all four wheels twice
