This original-style GMPW wheel is made to match the Solarbotics [GM2](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm2-224-1-gear-motor-offset-output.html), [GM3](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm3-224-1-gear-motor-90-deg-output.html), [GM8](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm8-143-1-gear-motor-offset-output.html), and [GM9](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm9-143-1-gear-motor-90-deg-output.html), gearmotors, and it also matches the [Pololu plastic gearmotors](https://core-electronics.com.au/#). This plastic wheel is molded from ABS, and measures just under 2-5/8" across by 0.3" wide. With the included rubber band tire, the total wheel diameter is 2-5/8". The wheel is available in [blue](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gmpw-lb-blue-wheel.html), [yellow](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gmpw-y-yellow-wheel.html), [red](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gmpw-r-red-wheel.html), and [black](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gmpw-b-black-wheel.html).

For mini-sumo robots, you can also get a [high-traction sticky tire](https://core-electronics.com.au/high-traction-sticky-tire-one-tire.html) made especially to fit this plastic robot wheel.
