Super Wheels SS were designed based on requirements and feedback from 1/32 racers who actively participate in organized club and proxy race events.  Super Wheels SS were then subjected to an extensive battery of tests to validate and refine the design.  The result is a high-performance 1/32 aluminum wheel which offers the following features and benefits:

 

  • True hubless design provides exceptional flexibility when adjusting the rear track width.  This is particularly important when rules specify the wheel/tire must be completely inside the fender and/or a maximum track width.

  • Affordable alternative to other manufacturer’s hubless wheels which cost up to twice as much as Super Wheels SS.

  • Precision machined using state-of-the-art CNC machine tools which ensure Super Wheels SS are perfectly round and the axle bore is concentric with both the outer wheel surface and longitudinal axis of the axle.

  • Perfect concentricity between the axle bore and longitudinal axis of the axle is achieved by designing the Super Wheel SS for a specific axle (Slot.it SIPA01).  Tolerances between the axle bore and axle are extremely tight - in fact, you will notice a slight amount of resistance/drag when mounting or unmounting Super Wheels on the recommended axle.   This ensures concentricity is maintained when the set screw is tightened.  The result – ZERO wheel wobble or vibration which can adversely affect a car’s handling.

  • Designed specifically for Super Tires ® and Yellow Dog Super Tires ®. Super Wheels SS were designed to compliment Super Tires and Yellow Dog Super Tires.  Super Wheels SS have undergone extensive design and testing to ensure Super Tires contact patches are perfectly flat ensuring the best possible grip.

  • Attractive five hole design complements a wide variety of 1/32 slot cars makes and models.

  • Easy to locate set screw using small dimple machined on inside of wheel.  This is especially helpful if the tire is glued to the wheel and you can’t easily peel the tire back to locate the set screw.

  • Flexible design accepts Slot.it (all compounds) and wheel inserts if desired.

How Much Do Super Wheels Weigh?
You may have noticed we haven't mentioned how much Super Wheels weigh (we will in just a minute).  This is intentional - it is our strong belief that FAR too much attention is paid to weight when key wheel characteristics have a MUCH greater impact on a car's performance.  Wheel manufacturers and racers alike tend to take for granted that all wheels are created equal (and perfect...) with respect to these other key characteristics - in particular, "roundness", axle fit, concentricity (particularly when the set screw is tightened) and tire fit.  Our real-world experience setting up and racing a wide variety of 1/32 cars in competitive events suggests otherwise.  This statement is also based on testing and/or machining hundreds and hundreds of our competitor's wheels.  Super Wheels were designed with a simple philosophy - stay focused on those elements of a wheel that have the greatest impact on a car's performance.

For the record, here is a summary of how much Super Wheels weigh:

    17x10mm - 2.6g/pr.

    15x8mm - 2.1g/pr.
