RE: Dying Rims
Rit fabric dye, salt and hot water.
I tried this once with Tamiya rims, and wound up with 4 really warped purple wheels.
Apparently, you need to be careful to keep the temp from melting the wheels.
I hear the proper way to do it is to get a good boil on the water/salt/die solution, cut the heat, and drop in your wheels. Repeat this process until you get the desired tincture.
