if you try to dye them red to make orange it will only go red - this will depend on the time you soak for - the amount of dye and the way yoy do it

if they were white them yes orange is the best colour to go orange

as they are yellow to start off with you might need less orange or less time in or more water volume

dye them with orange first and see how they look


when dying you have to remember that the original colour was added at time of producing the rim - the colour is all the way through it - dying only adds a colour on top of the rim, and some times it soaks in a little bit 0.10mm - holes and scuff allow more dye in in places, making it look different shades/grades of the colour you are using
