Have you ever?

Bought a new (to you) car with so much wheel spin, you were scared to put lube on it? 

I am worried the graphite will clog it or something

Dude, the train I sent to Beautiful Busses and Trains? Those rear wheels spun for nine seconds .... I couldn't believe it. I almost didn't lube them at all.

So satisfying to find those blister-fresh gems in the wild! Makes you want to tell Mattel "Hey! Remember how you did this, okay??"


  • then other times, a whole set (all 4) of the wonky-ist wheels you could imagine — dr_dodge
  • Yep, just saw a Reddit post where the white premium RWB Porsche has one wheel sagging so low with the car held aloft and rubbing the body when on a surface. OP was devastated to see that! — Chris_Hood

Even if they spin well, I want the best result, so I'm not afraid to put a little silicon on it.
