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 Fig Rig was a new 2013 Hot Wheel that had collectors talking right away! Released in the HW Stunt / Stunt Circuit Series, this Hot Wheels truck brings a new take on customization. You can literally add on to this truck many Lego or Mega Blocks items—or as […]
We’ve reach the summit of #Night Breed Week here at Diecast Motorsports. This series has been great and has spawned several other future ideas. We conclude #Night Breed Week with the car I feel is the pinnacle of the Night Breed 5-Pack, the Toyota Celica. I eluded to […]
The second car in our #Night Breed Week-long series is the 24/Seven. An unlicensed Hot Wheels casting designed by Dave Weise that takes some strong design cues from a 1990s Mazda RX-7. It is believed the “Seven” in the second-half of the name is a nod to the […]
The Night Breed 5-Pack has to be one of the coolest Hot Wheels 5-Packs to ever hit the shelves. This 5-Pack was released in 2004 and contained 4 tuner cars and 1 pro-stock car. The best aspect: the cars featured the satin paint known as Spectrafrost before it was termed, “Spectrafrost”. […]
The long awaited Toyota Supra was finally released in the 2013 Hot Wheels mainline. Hot Wheels released the Fat Bax Toyota Supra way back in 2004 but never a realistic ’90s version of the Supra. The casting itself is based off of a customized version of the ’94 Toyota Supra and […]

In addition, gas prices […]
Toro! Toro! One of the most rare and expensive vehicles Lamborghini has ever produced, the Reventón was inspired by the world’s fastest airplanes. The Reventón name is taken from a bull best known for killing a famous Mexican bullfighter in 1943. The 1:1 Reventón had a hefty pricetag which was […]
While Mattel and Ferrari are still at a standoff in terms of their licensing agreement that ended in 2015, we look at a Ferrari model that was recently introduced–the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. A new model for 2013, this Ferrari was introduced as part of the All Stars Series. […]
Sometimes, if we aren’t paying attention, Hot Wheels will release vehicles exclusively in international markets. These often can be hard to find unless you have a good trade partner in that country. More often than not, they are looking for Hot Wheels that are exclusive to U.S. stores […]
Another one of those former AcceleRacers castings, the Piledriver originated in the Metal Maniacs segment of that line. Driven by Deezel “Porkchop” Riggs in the cartoon, it is named after the wrestling move of the same name (according to the Hot Wheels Wiki). It has a V10 engine along […]
