MARTINIRACING962 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I've been watching videos on the 2008 Speed Racer film and it reminded me of the Hot Wheels cars based off of the vehicles in the movie. The T-180s used in the films used very complex designs which were expertly redesigned in 1:64. It would be the wheels of these vehicles that made me wonder. The 3 Spoke (3SP) and 5 Dot (5DOT) wheels were popular choices for many HWs in the mid 90s to the mid 2000s before seemingly disappearing. The Speed Racer series seemed to of resurrected them as they adorned many vehicles. 3 Spokes - Mach 4, GRX, Prince Kabala, Delila, Masurai, Rosie 5 Dot - Mach 5 My question is, were these iconic wheels used after this line or was this a simple, quick resurrection?

MazdaL10b Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 3SP was last used in the mainline in 2007, think speed racer was the last time it was used anywhere tho, same with 5DOT. Quote
