TurboWheels

Turbo Wheels History
Turbo Wheels was initially part of the normal yearly lineup in the late 1980's. In 1990, these were available in a six package subseries. Later releases included a couple sets in the 1994 yearly lineup.

Identifying Features
The bodies used on these were normal castings that usually have a special spacer between the body and base to accommodate the larger wheels gold wheels that are only found in vehicles from this subset. The Sprint Car, Indy Car, and Dune Buggy do not use the spacer.

Similar Brands
Road Champs used similar wheels on some of their micros. The easy way to tell them apart is the finish. Road Champs used silver chrome instead of the gold chrome.

Use in Customs
Since this subset just used spacers, it is easy for someone to swap the spacer and wheels onto other cars to create quick and easy customs.
