Not to be confused with ''Freewheelers'', which was a 70s British kids' drama series.

Line 23:
== Anime and Manga ==
* Played absolutely, unashamedly straight in just about every episode of ''[[Speed Racer (Anime)|Speed Racer]]'' ever.
* In the [[Cold Open]] of ''[[The CastleofCastle of Cagliostro (Anime)|The Castleof Cagliostro]]'', the casino staff's cars fall apart as a result of [[Vehicular Sabotage]]. A wheel from one rolls away and hits the bumper of the one car that had remained intact thus far, causing it to collapse. Additionally, when the car carrying the thugs chasing Clarice crashes, one of its wheels goes flying.
 
 
Line 56:
* One ''[[Leverage (TV)|Leverage]]'' episode uses it for misdirection: it'd be natural to think that the camera's focusing on the wheel rolling out of the wreckage just because that's a standard convention for filming car explosions, but it's actually because that wheel is where all the money got hidden...
* This happened on an early ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]'' episode. We see Gibbs diving to avoid a car bomb blast, then a flaming tire lands next to him.
* Often done as a gag on ''[[CanadasCanada's Worst Driver (TV)|Canadas Worst Driver]]''.
