The PR5 (or Phil Riehlman 5-Spoke) Wheel was developed by Hot Wheels designer Phil Riehlman. It debuted in 2000 and continues to be used to this day. Below are the releases that feature the PR5 wheel.
The Hot Wheels #Loco Motorin’ had quite the debut. No one would have thought that an #Unlicensed Hot Wheels train car would have flown off the pegs — yet, here we are — the Loco Motorin’ has been sought after by collectors in the last several weeks since […]
9/17/2019 — Welcome to the world of Hot Wheels in 2020! Kids and collectors alike will find a pleasant surprise starting in the #2020 Hot Wheels “A” case as the fine folks at Mattel decided to introduce the #Hot Wheels iD vehicles to mainline consumers so they can […]
One of the issues Hot Wheels collectors have had with the #Walmart Exclusive, Themed Assortment #Fast & Furious cars is that a lot of them have been repeat releases over the years. Sure, Hot Wheels has changed up a wheel style here and there, but for the most […]

Perhaps one of the coolest #TV & Movie Cars that Hot Wheels has come out with is the #Lamborghini Murciélago from the 2018 #Walmart Exclusive #Batman Vehicles Series. Its the car Bruce Wayne is seen driving in The Dark Knight (2008) — yes, that’s the one with the Heath […]
#NASCAR racing liveries on mainline Hot Wheels cars? For a moment in Hot Wheels history, there was a period where mainline Hot Wheels were integrated into the #Hot Wheels Racing line. Kind of a silly concept, huh? Well, when the idea first came about in 1999, the first […]
Its no secret that I love the Hot Wheels #Mini Cooper casting as I always feature the new ones here at OTD. Yes, I know I still call it by its previous name as its been the Morris Mini for years now, but its the one I prefer […]
