Hmmm... A picture might help, but I'll take a shot based on your description...

If the 'sticker' you mention is a blue 'dot' about 1/4" in diameter, that is the indicator of the foam used -- in this case 'Blue'. (NOTE: some companies have "shades" of colors -- JACO, for instance had an 'Aqua' tire and the 'dot' was just a slightly lighter shade of "blue"...)

Gray rims (assuming they are "spoked" design) probably means they are (ProLine)/JACO... ProLine and JACO parted ways and they are now simply 'JACO', with a slightly different rim:

I've attached a rather "ratty" pic of some 1/12th tires and the grey rims at the top/center are "JACO's" if that helps...
