F. 308 Type2 Wheel Covers

Wheel Covers for the Ferrari 308 Type2 by Avant Slot: Every Detail Counts

Wheel covers are one of those parts that make a difference between a well-crafted miniature and one that has lost its original essence. The reference AV20765b from Avant Slot is specifically designed for the Ferrari 308 Type2 model, ensuring a precise fit and a finish true to the original vehicle.

Function and Performance

These wheel covers serve a dual purpose: the purely aesthetic —replacing or substituting original parts that are worn or lost— and maintaining the visual coherence of the wheel-rim assembly that Avant Slot meticulously cares for in its miniatures. A poorly fitted or incorrectly sized wheel cover can affect the final appearance of the car, especially in display or detailed photography.

Compatibility

This part is exclusively designed for the Ferrari 308 Type2 by Avant Slot. If you have doubts about its compatibility with another version of the same model or with other kits from the brand, we recommend checking the reference before ordering, as small variations between versions may imply differences in fit.

Assembly and Preparation

The assembly does not require special tools. It is sufficient to press or fit the wheel cover onto the corresponding rim following the same procedure as with the original factory parts. If you are preparing the car for competition or simply want to restore a collector's unit, it is advisable to check the condition of the rims before installing the new wheel covers.

Ideal for…

• Restoring a Ferrari 308 Type2 from Avant Slot with 100% original parts.
• Completing a display or collection unit with the correct detail.
• Replacing damaged or lost wheel covers after intense running sessions.

History of the Ferrari 308 in Competition

The Ferrari 308 GTB is one of the most iconic GTs that graced rally and road racing circuits during the seventies and eighties. Developed on the basis of the road car presented in 1975, the 308 GTB found its most demanding testing ground in rallying. The official Ferrari team homologated it in Group 4 and participated in the World Rally Championship, where drivers like Markku Alén, Jean-Claude Andruet, and Michèle Mouton pushed its limits.

In Le Mans and other endurance races, versions derived from the 308 also left their mark, competing in the GT category with notable results for a production sedan adapted for competition. Its unmistakable silhouette, with the V8 engine featuring a dual overhead camshaft and Pininfarina bodywork, made it one of the most photographed cars of its time, both inside and outside the paddocks.

Avant Slot has managed to capture that essence in its 308 miniatures, carefully crafting each spare part reference —like these wheel covers— to ensure the reproduction is as faithful as the history of the real model demands.
