I get premounts from CRC or Genesis RC or Ulti. As far as yellow rims, you can always soak your tires/wheels in lacquer thinner after they have worn out to get the wheels. And if they are white wheels, you can dye them in boiling water using yellow RIT dye. Then you can buy just the foam donuts from either CRC or Ulti and mount them on your dyed rims using contact cement.

At least that's what we did in the old days.

Yep! I remember the old days, still, want spec donuts etc.. I’ve thrown away VERY large trash bags of old tires and wheels, just getting lazy in my old age.

I'd call Frank Calandra at CRC and ask him if he will sell the spec stripe tires as donuts.
