BBS wheel covers

The finishing touch that completes your Slot.it wheels with the unmistakable BBS style

The BBS wheel inserts from Slot.it (SIPA55) are the finishing accessory designed for those who leave no detail to chance. Manufactured to fit directly onto the SIPA17 and SIPA43 rims, they provide that BBS mesh look so closely associated with real competition, bringing the aesthetic we all recognise from endurance racing and historic GTs to the slot car scene.

Function and compatibility

Their function is purely visual: to cover the hub of the wheel and recreate the characteristic mesh design of BBS wheels, widely used in categories such as the World Endurance Championship or the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. They are specifically designed for the following Slot.it rims:

• SIPA17 – Slot.it wheels from the standard competition range.
• SIPA43 – Slot.it wheels from the standard competition range.

If you already have any of these rims mounted on your car, the SIPA55 inserts integrate directly without the need for additional modifications.

Installation and preparation

Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools. Simply press the wheel insert carefully onto the compatible rim to secure it in place. It is advisable to check that it does not rub against the body or fenders before running, as any unnecessary friction can affect the wheel's freedom of rotation.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts looking for a polished and realistic finish on their slot builds.
• Modellers wanting to replicate the aesthetics of competition prototypes and GTs.
• Collectors who display their cars and appreciate every detail of scale.
