RSW or Retro Slot Wheels is a Hot Wheels wheel type originally used only in the Cool Classics series. The wheels are later re-used in mainline releases, first showing up on the 2020 multipack Corvette Stingray; it is now available in a wide variety of rim colors and is no longer solely associated with the Cool Classics series.
Depending on the size of the wheel, two different lugnut patterns are present; the largest size these wheels are available in has the lugnuts aligning with the slots, while all other sizes have the lugnuts aligning with the spokes. The large size wheel can only be found on Blastous Moto, Straight Pipes and Astro Funk in the aforementioned Cool Classics series.
