Default Wheel dye?

Hi

I saw a B44 on an american forum or somewhere (not on here anyway) that had black J Concept Rylux wheels. A note stated that these were dyed - presumably by the owner as J Con dont do black.

Is this a common thing to do and if so, how does it work?

Use Dylon dye and is relatively easy to do. There is a thread on here somewhere stating on how to do it properly and I followed it and worked a treat (I dyed Kyosho Wheels from White to Red, Pink and Black).

If its Dylon make sure it is the old hot water dye, I tried dying my white wheels with black "cold" water dye and they just went brown !!!

Not really the look I was going for ....
