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.
I have to admit that I was a little surprised to find this regular #Treasure Hunt sitting in a sidekick at Target the other day. While regular Treasure Hunts (TH) seem to either be produced in higher quantities as of late and/or collectors are just leaving them behind, […]
Way back in April, after the 16th Annual Hot Wheels Nationals Convention in Indianapolis, this image surfaced as it was in the finale sneak peek slide show at the convention. The hype for this release has reached insurmountable levels as collectors have licked their chops for just under seven […]
Man, the #Honda S2000 is as popular as ever right now coming fresh off a highly-desirable convention release and now showing up in the latest batch of Fast & Furious cars at Walmart. But back in 2011, when this #Ryu Asada design first appeared as part of the […]

The new millennium brought change with it to the Hot Wheels world as the first #Tuner, the #Sho-Stopper, was introduced as part of the #2000 First Editions. A year later, the gates of tuner culture had been opened as we started seeing our first licensed tuners come through […]
We are continuing our coverage of the #HW Race Team (2016) series here are Orange Track Diecast with a release that should be all over the pegs at your local retailers by now — the Corvette C7.R wearing the #2 and a #Hot Wheels Race Team deco. Released […]
