Competition finish down to the last detail: OZ wheel covers from Slot.it for 14.3 mm and 15.8 mm rims
In the world of competitive slot racing, the details that are not immediately visible are precisely what separates a well-executed build from one that is truly refined. The OZ wheel covers from Slot.it, reference SIPA86, are designed to fit 14.3 mm and 15.8 mm rims in 1/32 scale, replicating the aesthetic of OZ rims that have accompanied some of the fastest cars in motorsport history.
Function and performance
The wheel covers serve a dual purpose: to protect the rim and to provide the correct visual finish to the wheel-tyre assembly. Their fit on compatible rims is secure, preventing movement during operation and maintaining the aesthetic coherence of the car at all times. They are manufactured to the usual tolerance standards of the Slot.it spare parts range, ensuring a consistent fit between units.
Compatibility
These wheel covers are specifically designed for the following Slot.it rim sizes in 1/32 scale:
- 14.3 mm rim
- 15.8 mm rim
If you have any doubts about which rim your Slot.it chassis uses, consult the technical documentation of the model or check the brand's spare parts catalogue before placing your order.
Installation and preparation
The installation does not require special tools. They fit directly onto the rim by pressure. It is advisable to ensure that the rim is clean and free from rubber or adhesive residues before placing the wheel cover, to ensure a uniform fit and to avoid lateral play.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is confusing the rim diameter and purchasing wheel covers of the incorrect size. Always check if your rims are 14.3 or 15.8 mm before ordering. Fitting a wheel cover of the wrong size may cause it to be loose during the race or not fit properly, deforming the ring.
