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.
