    dye for wheels

    i was wondering if i dyed the rpm wheels black, would the look flat black or would it look shiny/glossy?

    depends on what the dye is and if the rpms start glossy white or flat white

    Exactly, hurley. The RPM wheels start out as more of a glossy white, so they will be glossy after they have been dyed.

    I would recommend testing your color on a white zip tie before you give your wheels a dip in the dye. This will ensure that you will get the color that you are looking for.
