A NOOB question

[Hendrick9Fan]

I am trying to change the color of the wheels to black. I have no clue how.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to what to do?
Any help is appreciated.

If that's Spider-Dan's scene then it should render black even if they are white there.

Yup it does render black. How do you change it to where it renders a different color other than black(for future reference)?

There's a better way than my way, but what I do, is create a small colored BMP block of your color (50x50 pixels), then drag it onto both parts of the wheel on all the wheels. There is a way by hitting M and changing the BitMap through there, but I'm not sure how off the top of my head

Pressing the M key brings up the 'material editor' there's so much stuff in there anyone could probably get lost,lol.

If you select the rim, then right click and choose object properties, it will tell you which material is applied on it. Or you can select the rim then open the material editor and the material applied will be outlined.
