How do you get wheelspins in Forza Horizon 3?

I noticed that you can get wheelspins, the game's equivalent of a gacha roll, every time you level up. I also noticed that you can get it at the end of a race. But what happens when you reach max level? What are the ways to get wheelspins?


In summary:

  • The first way is to level up. Each level up will give you a wheel spin, up to Level 1000. After level 1000, every 200000 exp will give you another wheelspin.

  • With the 'Spin It Again' perk in the Festival Boss Skill Tree, available for 5 perk points, you can purchase unlimited extra wheelspins for 50,000 CR a time. The VIP double credits bonus does not apply to these wheelspins.

  • The perks Prize Time, Spinball Wizard, Lucky Hit, Fingers Crossed and Push Your Luck all give you 1 extra wheelspin. Once again, VIP double credit bonus does not apply.

  • Some Forzathon events also give out bonus wheelspins for fulfilling certain conditions. For example, the latest Forzathorn (as of 16/11/2016) gave 3 wheelspins for doing 5 barrel rolls. The VIP double credits bonus does apply to these wheelspins.

The current best method of getting Wheelspins through leveling up is through this method:

At higher levels, if your only goal is to get wheelspins, you are much better off going for credits (by doing laps of Goliath with a Credits boost HE car) and purchasing wheelspins at 50,000 credits a time. For example, the above exp getting method results in around 7.5 wheelspins per hour. Doing 6 laps of Goliath (around an hours work) results in around 20 wheelspins.


I decided to convert my comment into an answer as I played a good amount of F3H this weekend and confirmed that I didn't receive a wheelspin from just finishing a race.

You will receive a wheelspin anytime you level up. If you level up from the xp earned during a race, it will automatically spin for you. If you gain more than 1 level from the xp, you will only spin once.

If you level up in freeroam, you will be given the option to spin or it'll be kept for later under the 'Progress' tab.

Currently, it appears that there is no max level as the highest I have seen on FH3 was 280-something. If there are no max levels, then you would continue to level up and you would continue to receive wheelspins.

You also can receive a few additional wheelspins (limited) by unlocking the wheelspin bonus skill in the far right skill tree.
