Sideways Fuchs-Type Wheel Covers: When Detail is Everything
The Fuchs design is one of the most recognisable icons of classic sports cars, and Sideways brings it to scale with their reference SWR911S. This pack includes 4 units of wheel covers featuring that distinctive star profile, ideal for dressing and customising your slot cars with a visually faithful finish to the world of competition and classic tuning.
Function and Performance
Wheel covers are not just an ornament: they contribute to the visual coherence of the model and complete the wheel assembly with an authentic appearance. In the context of slot racing, a well-fitted wheel cover also protects the wheel hub from minor impacts and maintains the car's aesthetics session after session.
The Fuchs-Type design is particularly popular among models from the 911 family and derivatives, although its use can extend to any project where it fits aesthetically.
Compatibility and Installation
These wheel covers are manufactured by Sideways, so their natural fit is on the wheels and chassis of the brand itself. Before making any other combinations, we recommend checking the measurements with the wheels you intend to use to ensure a correct fit.
Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools: they fit directly onto the wheel hub by pressure.
Considerations
- The pack contains 4 units (enough to equip a complete car).
- Design inspired by the original Fuchs wheels, an icon of classic sports cars.
- Manufactured by Sideways, a leading brand in the high-end slot car and spare parts segment.
- We recommend confirming dimensional compatibility before using them with third-party wheels.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many units does the pack include?
The SWR911S pack includes 4 units of Fuchs-Type wheel covers, just enough to equip all four wheels of a slot car.
Are they compatible with wheels from other brands?
They are designed for Sideways wheels. Compatibility with wheels from other brands depends on the inner diameter of the wheel cover and the wheel hub in question; we recommend checking this before purchase.
Do they fit by pressure or do they require adhesive?
The usual fastening system for this type of part is by pressure onto the wheel hub, without the need for adhesive. However, if you want a more permanent fix, you can use a small amount of specific plastic glue.
Can I paint them to customise my car?
Yes. Being plastic parts, they can accept modelling paints such as Vallejo or Tamiya. First, apply a layer of primer to ensure adhesion and achieve a uniform finish.
