Wanted: Lightweight Black-dyed Wheels

[Grastens]

Greetings:

I am trying to find box-art-type wheels for my Astute; the one I bought has already had the Jamie Booth-style modifications which make it a better runner but I would like to find some Tamiya lightweight wheels in black. If my paint scheme idea works out for my repro shell, I should then have a nice team thing with my Avante, which also uses lightweight black wheels. Already I have the front 2WD lightweight set and some aftermarket Team CRP spiked fronts, and the rear spike tires are ubiquitous. I am only missing the wide lightweight wheels for the rear.

There is one listing on eBay for these special wheels; however I am not prepared to drop $60 for a set of rear rims. I know that dyeing the standard white wheels works very well, but I do not have the resources to try it.

So I would like to ask if anybody would be willing to dye black a pair of wide lightweight wheels. We can discuss payment, though I am optimistically looking for a $30 fee that includes shipping. Please note that I do not have a set of said wheels, though I understand the white sets are rather easy to find.

Thank you very much!

isnt it easier to just get the re re white wheels and die them black ?

Like I said, I do not have the resources to do so. I am on a university campus, and so I lack the necessary items required to dye anything, most importantly a stovetop/heat source. In fact, the thread specifically requests the re-re white wheels dyed black.

Perhaps I should have just listed this as a request for a service, or I could just pay full price for an original set...
