1:8th buggy wheels (17mm hex)

Just dye them with Rit...

We don't seem to have Rit over here, there is a commonly found dye called dylon, I thought that may be the same stuff under a different name and bought a set of white Hockenheim style wheels to dye black but it didn't really take at all, I don't know if dylon wont work or if the wheels are made out of a non-porous plastic, I'll post some pics of the results after work.

Does Rit work on all wheels? if not has anyone tried it on the ofna wheels? I found a skate shop that sells it.

Here is a picture of the wheels I boiled for about 45 mins in black Dylon, the spokes and very edges of the rims look slightly sooty, I since read on the Dylon website that despite the similar sounding name, Dylon wont work on nylon or most other synthetics.

Just wonder...what online store sells medial pro tires? My LHS used to have them, but not anymore...
