General info[]
The wheel set was designed by Takayuki Yamazaki of the pdc_designworks, being designed for the DCR-01 Mini 4WD car (Which is also designed by Yamazaki). The overall dimensions of the wheel and tire design are the same as the normal low-profile tires and wheel sets.
The wheels has the futuristic, 6-spoke design that has 3 main spokes and 3 sub-spokes to supports the wheel rims, and the rims are designed to be extremely thin, thus the wheels are lighter than its dish-styled counterparts.
Much like the low-profile dish wheel sets, the inner side of the wheels has the ring-like parts protrudes from the axis arm, reducing the frictions that causes by touching the bearings.

Carbon set[]
