Just make sure if they have an alloy hub you protect it as the bleach will eat it away, it did on one of mine  :( :(

Rombloke:
heres a ally hubbed one i had sat in bleach for over a week, didnt protect the hub at all, it never ate it away, just turned it black, so just polished it when it came out with some peek

I've just had a Tuff II front wheel in bleach for 4 days and it is looking pretty good but I had to take it out early as I have chucked a set of Z-Rims into my big bucket of bleach.  Once the Z-Rims are sorted I will be chucking a pair of OGK GT Performer mags in, then my Skyway will be going back in.  I have question about bleaching, though.

 When the wheels came out of the bleach they were a bit chalky (Apparently, something to do with the bleach affecting the PH of the nylon) , how do you get rid of that residue?  Some people reckon spraying the wheels with WD40 will sort it but will that not discolour my just-bleached wheels?

Has anyone bleached a set of Z-Rims before?  They have sat in the (neat) bleach for 4 days and they don't look any different to when I threw them in.  I'm going to give them a week and hit them with a jet washer.

Any one got a rear white tuff II for sale?  I bought a pair of them a while back but the rear wasn't up to scratch so it went the journey...
