The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  These are the type B wheels that come with the covered hubs and treaded tires.  The instructions explain how to use the paint masks for best results. 

These are the perfect option if you're building a P-40 and you want the proper tire treads and covered hubs.  These resin wheels/tires will be a nice improvement over the kit wheels/tires and the addition of the painting masks will make you're life so much easier.

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aires or from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of some of those retailers can be found here.
