One major thing I'm not a fan of on the wheel layout for season 30 and 31 is the $500 spaces. There are a bit too many of them (6 for S30 and 7 for S31) on the wheel! I think this is what led the $300-$450 spaces to their retirement on season 32, which is disappointing to me. The S17-S27 layouts are fine enough, but what's the point of having more $500s on the wheel? To be fair, I do not know.
In an attempt to set this aside, I made these layouts that show how I think the season 30 and 31 wheels should've been.
First things first. To keep things simple, I included the yellow $850 from season 39 because I thought it would be a nice addition to the wheel. Also there are three $500 spaces on the wheel just like in season 26-28. Another thing to note is that the values of the $400 (yellow) and $450 (pink) spaces have had their values swapped because I think three adjacent $x50s would look awkward.
Round 1
One 1/2 Car tag is over the pink $500 while the other one is on the green $750. As a result, the gift tag moves to the blue $350.
Round 2 (Mystery round)
The top value for this round is decreased to $3,000.
Round 3
For this round and subsequent rounds after it, the Free Play wedge is not available, and is replaced by the yellow $850 space in its place. This is similar to the Free Spin token before September 2007 where it is limited to the first two rounds.
S30 version
S31 version (Express round)
Round 4+
Three spaces have their values increased to four-digit values. The pink $900 becomes a $1,500 space, the purple $350 is now $1,000, and the blue $300 is valued at $2,000.
