Title: Actual rim diameter ?
Post by: hosburger on November 30, 2010, 11:40 AM

Hi,  I need to know the outside diameter of a 20" wheel rim. I have some tuff wheels that I need to dye and am work trying to find a container big enough.

Cheers

You need about 16 1/2 inches, but bigger would be better for dying, so you can slosh it around a bit, For bleaching I used a box lined with polythene, but you are gonna be using very hot water with dye, so don't use the box method!!
