dying is the way to go with "white" zytecs
i bleached mine for a fortnight and they came up a kind of ivory colour

I think four works well?

I am guessing that you used No. 18 ??

They have dyed even enough,a bit pale around the hubs though.You can still see the original texture of the wheels through the blue.
I only used 3 Dylons,think it was number 18(royal blue). I probably used too much water because it was hard to find something perfect to submerge them both in together.I ended up cutting the bottom of a plastic 200ltr drum.I noticed that were i sanded them down slightly and cut the reflector lug off,it  seemed to take better.
Im gonna try dying them again next week.Whatever colour they end up,it'll be better than the ivory stained colour me thinks! :daumenhoch:
