Too much of a compromise?

why not put a wanted add for red tuffs in the wanted section mate dont think the wheels uve looked at on ebay are worth that and hey for a few extra pounds u can get some tuffs just might have to wait awhile  :daumenhoch: the above blue tuffs have been dyed  ;)

Its just a matter of cleaning them, lots of hot water & scrubbing, then stick them in a pot & dye them, I found it best to leave them on the stove for about 1/2 hour each & get the proper Dylon industrial dye, for Blue you want Madonna Blue, not sure about Red, but someone will know  :daumenhoch:

So don't be scared of getting some old dirty faded Tuffs  ;)

g_lamb:
It's the speed of which I want/need some wheels that's the issue so certainly not bothered too much much about faded colours.

Looks like Tulip Red will be the one.. http://www.dylon.co.uk/colours.html
