Set of 4 Black Lotus Wheels

Four black Lotus wheels that make a difference on the circuit's asphalt

The set of 4 Black Lotus wheels with reference CX1030LN is the direct option when you need to renew the wheels of your slot car while maintaining the original aesthetics of the Lotus profile. The black finish provides a sporty and understated look that fits both competition setups and cars prepared for weekend club racing.

Features of the wheel set

• Complete set: includes 4 wheels, covering both the front and rear axles.
• Lotus profile: specific design that respects the proportions and style of the original profile.
• Black finish: uniform colour, free of imperfections, ready to mount or to receive tyres directly.
• Reference CX1030LN: precise identification for replacement or preparation of your car.

Function and performance

Wheels in good condition are a silent but decisive factor in the car's behaviour. Imbalance or wear on the original wheels can cause vibrations, loss of tyre grip, and erratic response in corners. Replacing them with a new set ensures that the tyres seat evenly around the entire circumference, resulting in smoother and more predictable rolling.

Installation and preparation

The installation process is straightforward: remove the worn or damaged wheels from the axles, check that the diameter of the central hole fits correctly with your axle, and press the new wheels until they are securely fitted. If you are going to mount silicone or urethane tyres, ensure that the outer surface of the wheel is clean and free of any previous adhesive residue. For competition mounting, it is advisable to lightly turn the already installed wheels on the axle itself to eliminate any slight misalignment and achieve a perfectly concentric rotation.

Compatibility and mounting

Before confirming your order, verify that the Lotus profile and axle diameter of these wheels match the axles of your car. Lotus profile wheels are common in a wide variety of 1/32 scale slot cars, but the specific measurements of the central hole and wheel width may vary depending on the manufacturer and the model of the car they are intended for. Check your vehicle's technical data sheet or cross-reference with the manufacturer's reference if you have any doubts.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts looking to replace worn wheels while maintaining the original profile of the car.
• Club preparers who want to start with a new set of wheels for a careful setup with competition tyres.
• Collectors restoring a slot car and needing to return the original appearance to the wheels with a clean black finish.

Common mistakes

• Not checking the axle diameter before ordering: the central hole of the wheel must fit precisely on the car's axle. A too-loose fit causes wobbling; too tight may hinder mounting or damage the wheel.
• Mounting the tyre without cleaning the wheel: any residue of grease or dust hinders tyre adhesion and may cause it to move or detach during the race.
• Not turning after competition mounting: even new wheels may present slight misalignment. In recreational use, this is usually not noticeable, but in competition, a small jump of tenths of a millimetre affects stability at high speeds.

Frequently asked questions

Does the set include 4 wheels or is the price per unit?

The set includes 4 wheels, sufficient to fully equip a slot car (two front and two rear).

Do these wheels come with tyres included?

No, the wheels are supplied without tyres. You will need to purchase separately the tyres that best suit your setup and track type.

Are they compatible with universal track and Sport track?

Compatibility depends on the slot car they are intended for, not the track itself. The wheels do not interact directly with the track; ensure that the profile and axle diameter fit your specific vehicle.

Can I turn them to improve concentricity?

Yes. It is a common practice in competition preparation. Mount the wheels on the car's axle, install it in the lathe, and perform a light pass to eliminate any residual misalignment before placing the tyres.

Is the black finish painted or is the material already black from the factory?

We do not have verified information on whether the black colour is intrinsic to the material or the result of a finishing process. If this information is relevant to your project, we recommend consulting it directly with us before placing your order.
