fastest tiger wheels

Picture
​​Tiger Wheels is a lesser known diecast toy maker that was located in Puerto Rico, with cars made in China.  These cars were produced in the early 2000's.  They can be found online, but can be somewhat expensive to pick up.  These cars feature all-metal bodies and chassis and were made with racing in mind.  The wheels are similar to the Johnny Lightning racers edge wheels.  These cars are very heavy with all my examples ranging from 74 to 85 grams.

I have found the performance of the cars to be underwhelming, but I'm still holding out hope that I can find some fast ones.  The ones I have I've seen raced in different channels or were discussed somewhere.  The challenge is getting the wheels to spin freely, even with sufficient graphite dusting.  I know some racers have found success, so may need to retry them.

If you've come across specific models that run fast, please let me know in the Feedback section.

My fastest Tiger Wheels.  The 85 gram Crown Victoria Police car, the 75 gram F-150 Ford Lightning and the 74 gram VW Panel Van.  All 2-star cars, with the Crown Victoria close to 3-stars.
Picture
My other Tiger Wheels.  The '69 Camaro (white with orange stripes) and the blue '66 Buick Riviera. Both were competitive.  Additional cars include the Red Dawn Funny Car, another Camaro and the '58 Chevy Pickup.  All the cars are 74 or 75 grams.
Picture

The Crown Victoria was the best performer at 2.549 with the F-150 at 2.555 and the VW Panel Van at 2.563.
