AUTOart MB 190 SL M#76118 - Tires Black or Black/White?

Post by [KRAFTIG] » Sat Sep 29, 2018 6:48 am

Can someone explain why the AUTOart MB 190 SL with the same M#76118 has all Black and Black/White tires? I thought I purchased the all Black based on box image but the tires were White/Black when I removed the model from the box.

I also noticed the backside of the tire is all black. Anyone successfully removed the tires on this model without damaging it? TIA!

Whitewall tires is the proper term. Yeah you can flip them over I'm sure

I think the whitewalls suit the car well for the era.

I don't mind them but I wanted the more sinister look and "hot-rodish" feel of the all Black.

I still think you should go for it. I've never really destroyed wheels on any car by pulling tires off. Only happened when taking off rims

With the level of detail, it feels delicate to the touch. Can't risk in on this beauty, rare piece!
