2 x boxes of scarlet Rit & 1500g of salt in a big tub of boiling water submerge wheels for 2 days and clean off with cold soapy water = yellow to red tuffs !

+ there's tonnes of threads on this just put a search on !

You would benefit with a good bleaching to get better adhesion and a darker red !

If they are ally hubs cover the hubs in Vaseline first. as the bleach will eat them
