Official Awana Grand Prix Wheels: Precision Lathed for Speed

Awana Ultra Lite Wheels
Precision Lathed Ultra-Lite Official Awana Wheel

  • Wheels are precision lathed and trued
  • All of the Official Awana Grand Prix markings remain.
  • They are slightly lighter (each wheel is 1.6g) for a fast start and lightning speed down the track.
  • The hub is coned and the end squared, reducing friction when the wheel hits the car body.
  • The outside tread is trued, so your wheel is perfectly smooth, reducing rotational friction.
  • The inside tread is trued, removing imperfections and so your wheels turn fast and smooth.
  • The wheel edge is lathed flat to reduce friction when your wheel hits the track guide.
  • Net result is a precision tuned, super FAST Ultra-Lite Wheel
Important: Awana Speed Wheels are delicate, due to the spoke design. Do not pull the wheels after they are inserted as the spokes could break. If you must remove the wheel (not recommended) use a flat blade screwdriver and gently apply pressure under the wheel hub.
