Wheel Decals
I have a Trek 1.5 and was curious about wheel decals - are they a good thing? Do people do it with the stock wheels?

DON'T TAKE THEM OFF!!!! You will affect the rim balance...NOT!
Depends on the decal and the bike. I took the ones off the rims I used on my Raleigh Twenty because the OEM rims didn't have decals/stickers. My newer bikes, I will usually leave them on until the get scruffy, the take them off.

If you think that you might want to sell them at some point, I suspect that they sell a little better with the stickers intact.
Personally, I peel mine off because I'm more into esthetics than resale-ability.
