Generic BBS and OZ Racing logos on decals to give a professional touch to your miniature wheels
When detail makes the difference, wheel logos are one of those elements that elevate a miniature from the correct level to the impressive level. The Generic Decals BBS / OZ Racing (DSC0158) from Decal Station are designed exactly for that: to faithfully reproduce the emblems of two of the most recognised wheel brands in the world of motorsport and high-performance automotive.
What does this decal sheet include?
The reference DSC0158 includes the generic logos of BBS and OZ Racing, two wheel brands with a historic presence in both competition and high-level tuning. The decals allow for the customisation of wheels on miniatures of different scales, adapting to slot car projects, static models, and dioramas where visual authenticity is essential.
Recommended applications
- Slot cars: Ideal for redecorating or customising aftermarket or standard wheels, especially in builds with BBS profile wheels or rally-type wheels.
- Static models: Perfect complement in kits where the original decals do not include wheel logos, or when replacing standard wheels with more detailed ones.
- Dioramas and figures: For recreations of paddocks, car exhibitions, or competition scenes where realism in every element matters.
Application tips
To achieve the best result with these decals, we recommend following a careful process:
- Prepare the surface of the wheel with a coat of gloss varnish (Vallejo, Tamiya or similar) to ensure adhesion and avoid the silvering effect.
- Cut each decal precisely, leaving the minimum amount of clear film possible around the logo.
- Soak the decal in warm water for 20-30 seconds and gently slide it onto the surface.
- Use decal softeners (such as Micro Sol or equivalents from Vallejo or Ammo) to adapt the decal to curved or textured surfaces.
- Once dry, seal with a matte or satin varnish depending on the desired finish.
Aspects to consider
These decals are generic, meaning they reproduce the logos of BBS and OZ Racing without being associated with a specific car model or scale. Before applying them, check that the logo size is proportional to the wheel of your miniature. For very small scales, it may be necessary to cut with great precision or use optical aids.
Frequently asked questions
What scale are these decals intended for?
As they are generic, they are not designed for a single scale. They can be used in various scales, although it is most common to apply them to 1/32 and 1/24 miniatures, where the wheels have enough surface area for the logo to be legible and proportional.
Do I need to varnish the piece before applying the decal?
Yes, it is highly recommended. A prior coat of gloss varnish facilitates the sliding of the decal, improves adhesion, and prevents bubbling or the "silvering" effect that appears on matte surfaces.
Can I use them on unpainted plastic wheels?
Technically yes, but the result will be cleaner and more durable if the surface is varnished. Untreated plastic may present adhesion issues, and the logo may lift over time.
Are they compatible with decal softeners?
Yes. The use of softeners (Micro Sol, Vallejo Decal Medium or other equivalents) is fully compatible and highly recommended for adapting the decal to curved surfaces such as wheels.
Do the logos include both BBS and OZ Racing on the same sheet?
Yes, the reference DSC0158 groups both logos on the same sheet of generic decals.
