Just like the wheels on your family car, your pinewood derby car wheels need to be balanced and tuned for optimal performance. The BSA wheels in your kit have many imperfections that cause your car to bounce, vibrate and turn to one side or the other, resulting in lost speed. To increase your car speed, we have precision lathed, tuned and matched your wheels, resulting in increased speed. |

Why remove the mold mark? 
Because it is like driving your car with a flat tire! The mold mark is actually a bump that will cause your car to bump up and down with each revolution. When the mold mark is removed, your wheel is perfectly round. |

What is a "trued" wheel? Precision lathing "trues" the wheel tread to the axle center line, meaning the tread is now perfectly concentric with the axle, giving you perfect precision rotation. |

Why cone the hubs? Once again, imperfections in the plastic cause friction where the wheel rubs against the pinewood derby car body, slowing your car down. The hub is precision lathed to remove wheel mold imperfections, reducing friction, thereby increasing your derby car speed.

Why do you want lighter wheels? Lighter wheels are easier to turn, giving you a faster start and increased speed as your derby car goes down the track. Note: competitor wheels have not been lightened like Pinewood Pro wheels! |

| Why ream the wheel bore? Like the other areas of the wheel, the bore has imperfections and may not be trued to the rest of the wheel. When the bore is reamed, your pinewood derby car wheel rotates perfectly about the axle. |

All wheels are not created equal. There are many slight differences between each mold when they are made. To achieve optimal performance, your wheels are matched as a set, giving you perfect balance. |
