Compatibility
These hub caps are designed to fit universal 15.9 mm wheels from the Sloting Plus range. Always check the diameter of your wheels before installing them to ensure a proper fit and a presentation without play.
Installation and Preparation
Installation is straightforward: simply press the hub cap onto the wheel until it is seated. Being manufactured by 3D printing, the tolerances are adjusted for a firm fit. If the fit is a bit tight, you can use a flat support tool to avoid damaging the piece. They do not require glue under normal usage conditions.
Ideal for…
- Enthusiasts building replicas of the Subaru Impreza rally cars or the competition versions that participated in the World Rally Championship.
- Preparers looking for visual consistency between the body and wheels of their slot car.
- Collectors repairing or restoring models and needing to replace or substitute damaged hub caps.
Points to Consider
As they are 3D printed pieces, they may exhibit the surface textures characteristic of this manufacturing technology. If you are looking for a completely smooth finish, you can apply fine sanding with high-grit sandpaper and a coat of primer before painting them to your liking with plastic-compatible paints (Vallejo, Tamiya or similar).
Frequently Asked Questions
How many units are included in the pack?
The pack includes 4 hub caps, the necessary amount to equip all four wheels of a slot car.
What wheels are they compatible with?
They are designed for universal 15.9 mm wheels from the Sloting Plus range. Check the diameter of your wheels before placing the order.
Can they be painted?

They are validated for Sloting Plus 15.9 mm wheels. Compatibility with wheels from other brands of the same diameter will depend on the specific tolerances of each manufacturer; we recommend checking this before installation.
