Crayons work great.
I would only recommend using Crayola brand,..they are of the highest quality and more importantly, have a huge assortment of pretty colors.
Ive always thought "Burnt Umber" would be an outrageously bling color for the inners, and "magenta" or "Cyan" for the rings on a nice set of beadlocks.
I hope this helps.

Ok maybe its just all of the technical juices now coursing through my brain, and yes, I might just be tooting my own horn here, but DAMN! , youve gotta admit you can gleen some awsome tech from this board. :flipoff2:


Edit: Ive just been informed by our kids, that presently, there are "glitter" and "glow in the dark" colors available,....I personaly havent used these colors in the past, so I cant confirm that they do actually exist, or vouche for their quality.

Screw the warranty, those wheels are so tough that they will never break anyway.


Mo, better not :cow:ve this after all of the Crayola tech that Ive poured into this post.

Does the wax of the crayons help slide over rocks? Might have to look into coloring my rockers if so.:D

you could get some hight temp rustoleum if your afraid the brakes will affect the paint. they sell it at home depot or lowes

I did to my spare.
I just used some cheap chrome paint, and some spray on clear coat to seal it all up.

looks pretty bling bling.

i bought an old set of Cherokee rims for an off-road set, w/ MTRs...I just used black satin Rustoleum.

They looked pretty tight, until I got the tires actually mounted...the mechanic kinda cheesed em up a bit.

Oh-well, I was figuring they would get rock rashed anyway...they still look good tho, kind of industrial, glad i used the satin finish...
