		Why would you want lathed wheels? To gain speed! Just like the wheels on your family car, your pinewood derby car wheels need to be balanced and tuned for optimal performance. The pre-2010 BSA wheels in your kit, and to a lesser extent the 2010 wheels, 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.

		Speed Increase #1 Remove Mold Mark (pre-2010 wheels)
		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.
		Speed Increase #2 Wheel Tread is "Trued"
		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.
		Speed Increase #3 cone hubs on pre-2010 wheels, fix hub on 2010 wheels
		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. The new 2010 wheels are coned but they are not square, they come to a point. This could result in wobble when the wheel touches the car body. The hub should have a small square, flat surface. We lathed the older style wheels this way and we now do it to the newer style wheels.
		Speed Increase #4 Wheels are Lighter
		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.

		Speed Increase #5 Wheel bore is reamed
		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.
		Speed Increase #6 Outside wheel rim is trimmed
		Why trim the rim? The rim has imperfections that slow your pinewood derby car whenever the wheel rubs against the center rail. Trim the rim, reduce friction and increase your speed!
		Speed Increase #7 Wheels are a Matched Set
		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.
