Black Rims!? Where can I find some?

[JitsuGuy]

This is for 1/10th Touring Car. I've looked at Tower, Stormer, SpeedTech.... Anyone know where I can find some?

Thanks!

man, I have been out of the sport/hobby for a while now but back in the day we would dye white wheels black... its easier than spending hours looking, and then it tended to be cheaper... I used to buy plastic dye right at the hobby shop along with white HPI wheels then dyed to the exact colors I wanted them to be.

Look under Tires/Wheels. They have a pretty good selection.

OFNA makes black rims that can be bought in packages of 8 for just under 10 bucks. They also make them in white, flourescent yellow and clear so you can dye/paint them. One of the best buys in R/C.
