Don't need to boil the water (although it does help) just have it plenty hot, with some salt and keep stirring    PM Rombloke, he's the Skyway restoration guru  .  I had to do my yellow ones twice, from this...

Those wheels have been on eBay a few times but they always had a silly BIN and nobody bought 'em.  When they came back on for a £10 starting bid, I still thought to myself, who's going to buy those?  I thought they'd struggle due to the fade and the fact that there a Tuff 1.  I was surprised to see how high they actually went in the end considering their condition. 

I think the seller buys a lot of his gear from the States and they're probably just faded from sitting in the Nevada sunshine for the last 20+ years.

Have you received them yet?  I'd be interested to see if you could mint them up as they look like a lot of work.  Maybe post some pics in the Tech restoration section to show us how they turn out

yeah, when they are old old, which they are cos there tuff I's, they will have a tendency to have a bit of a marble effect to em...so i reckon they are un-dyed
