Avant Slot Type 1 Wheel Covers: The Finish That Details Deserve

Check compatibility with your specific rim before assembly to ensure that type 1 is the right model for your project. Avant Slot offers different variants of wheel covers depending on the target rim.
Assembly and Preparation
Assembly is straightforward: the wheel covers snap onto the rim once mounted on the axle. It is recommended to check that the surface of the hub is clean and free of glue or lubricant residues before placing them, to ensure a correct fit and optimal visual finish.
Ideal for…
This product is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a high level of detail in their slot cars, both for display and track use. It is also useful for replacing damaged or lost wheel covers during running sessions or maintenance disassemblies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many wheel covers are included in the pack?
The pack contains 4 type 1 wheel covers, sufficient to equip all four wheels of a slot car.
What rim diameter are they designed for?
They are specifically designed for rims with a diameter of 16.5 mm.
Do these wheel covers affect the car's behaviour on track?
They are not conceived as a functional rolling element. Their function is aesthetic: to enhance the visual finish of the wheel-rim assembly.
Are they compatible with rims from other brands?
The primary compatibility is indicated for 16.5 mm rims. If you use rims of that size from another brand, they may be compatible, but we recommend verifying this before assembly.
