Has anyone had experience dying the the Jconcepts mono wheels?
https://www.jconcepts.net/shop/mono-rc10-rc10b2-rc10b3-22-rear-wheel
My son is interested in black wheel for his car. Would the yellow plastic dye black better or white? Would RIT dye work or is there a better option?

The graphite black is popular but I usually can't find it.
The last several batches that I've dyed were with regular Rit black liquid. It took longer than the powder but the final result looks good.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Awesome to know. I already have a bottle of black RIT dye. Would the yellow or white be better to start with? How long do you boil them for?juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:28 pm The graphite black is popular but I usually can't find it.

The JConcepts wheels I have don't seem like nylon. They seem more like ABS. I'm not certain they are dyable.
