BBS Wheel Covers Opel Calibra DTM

The BBS wheel inserts that the Opel Calibra DTM deserves

The Opel Calibra DTM is one of the most recognisable cars in the history of the German Touring Car Championship, and every detail matters when it comes to reproducing it faithfully. The BBS wheel inserts from Slot.it (reference SIPA77) are specifically designed for this model, providing that visual touch that distinguishes a well-prepared car from a merely functional one.

Function and performance

Beyond the aesthetic aspect, the wheel inserts serve a practical function: they cover and protect the wheel hub, completing the wheel assembly with the correct finish. As original Slot.it parts, the fit is precise and free of play, which prevents vibrations or losses during the race.

Compatibility

• Designed for rims with a diameter of Ø15.8 mm.
• Specific to the Opel Calibra DTM from Slot.it.
• Pack containing 4 + 2 units (sufficient to assemble a complete car with spare units).
• Official Slot.it reference: SIPA77.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly is straightforward: they fit onto the corresponding rim without the need for special tools. For optimal attachment, it is advisable to ensure that the rim is free of any grease or silicone residue before placing them. If used with rubber tyres, it is not necessary to remove them for the usual sanding or tuning process.

Common mistakes

• Confusing rim diameter: these wheel inserts are exclusive to rims Ø15.8 mm. Using them on rims of a different diameter compromises the fit and final appearance.
• Forcing the fit: if the wheel insert does not fit smoothly, check that the rim is the correct one before applying more pressure.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are included in the SIPA77 pack?

The pack includes 4 + 2 units, that is, six wheel inserts in total: four for the complete assembly of the car and two additional as spares.

Are they compatible with other Slot.it rims or those from other brands?

They are optimised for Ø15.8 mm rims of the Opel Calibra DTM from Slot.it. Their compatibility with rims from other brands or models is not guaranteed by the manufacturer, as the fit depends on the specific design of the hub.

Is it necessary to use glue to secure them?

No. The press-fit design of Slot.it allows for a secure fit without adhesive, making removal easier in case of maintenance or rim changes.

Can I use these wheel inserts to customise another DTM model?

As they are parts with a specific BBS design for the Calibra, their use on other models will depend on whether the rim has the same diameter and a compatible hub geometry. In case of doubt, it is best to consult with us before placing an order.
