I painted my official pinewood derby wheels (tires only) white? To make it look like white wall tires on my red hot rod. Is this ok? On race (district) day would I be told different?
 
No problem. Kids do it all the time. I can think of no benefit to it (besides making it look good) that could result in anyone accusing you of cheating.

<-- I painted the wheels on this car. It doesn't help any with speed, but does help the "show". /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
 
Just don't do what my neighbor did! He let his boys paint the entire face of the wheel and nail head. When the paint dried, the cars wouldn't roll!
