Wait while you are here am I missing something did you actually just dump the dye and wheels in your washing machine.
Should have thrown some different color clothes in also.

Yup wheels, tires, salt, and vinegar in the hot cycle at the laundromat.
That works be pretty cool (in some circles) to make an outfit to match the wheels. I’ll be back.

Ahh yeah gotta use the synthetic version my dude!
Double the recommended dye in the dye to water ratio for extra awesomeness.

that’s just the surface, I wanna get it as deep as the dye penetrates.
The dye gets pretty far in, like 1-2 cm in so they might be solid anyway with just the regular method posted

Sooo i did everyrhing described here, however my wowgo wheels do not want to color. Any ideas as to how this is possible?
Ive used rit all purpose dye black. See the before and after. The wheels have been sitting for many hours.
Did you use the synthetic dye?

No i used all purpose as stated, do you think synthetic has a better chance?

One of the reason it didn’t work is because you had your camera watermarks still on 
I used Rit synthetic when I dyed some urethane wheels (grey → purple) and they came out great.

Did you use dish soap and vinegar?
Did you double the dye in the ratio?

My only other guess would be to try synthetic or hotter water

About over 2 years of using these black Caguamas now, nothing bad happened, so yes, it’s good!

Thats good to know I plan on doing the same thing with mine. I love the blue but it kinda greens when I use them.
For sure. Urethane in general yellows with uv exposure so whatever color you’re shooting for, imagine what it will look like yellowed later down the road.
