DAYTONA 169 wheel covers

DAYTONA 169 Wheel Covers from Sloting Plus: Aesthetic and Precision Without Compromising Weight

Within the 1/32 spare parts catalogue of Sloting Plus, the DAYTONA 169 wheel covers (reference SP029924) represent a meticulously thought-out solution for those who do not want to compromise the visual presence of their cars without penalising track performance. Compatible with the -UNIVERSAL- UFO rim of Ø16.9 mm, these wheel covers combine a refined design with lightweight and functional engineering.

Function and Performance

Sloting Plus developed this wheel cover system based on six specific objectives that address the weaknesses of conventional solutions:

• Durable Aesthetics: they maintain the rims with a polished appearance at all times.
• Secure Attachment: the anchoring system prevents the wheel cover from detaching during driving, without the need for any type of glue.
• Ultralight Weight: only 0.052 g per unit, even lighter than many conventional plastic alternatives.
• Customisable Design: they can be painted, allowing for adaptation to each car's livery.
• Variety of Designs: the name DAYTONA identifies a specific style within the range, with multiple references available according to the preparer's taste.

Compatibility

These wheel covers are specifically designed for the UFO -UNIVERSAL- rim of Ø16.9 mm. Before ordering, ensure that your rims correspond to this exact diameter, as Sloting Plus offers wheel covers in different sizes for various rim references.

Bag Contents

Each bag includes 2 DAYTONA 169 wheel covers plus 2 brake discs, allowing for the equipping of a complete axle with a single order and adding that extra touch of realism that makes a difference in the detail of any preparation.

Assembly and Preparation

Assembly does not require special tools or adhesives. The snap-fit system itself ensures secure attachment. If you choose to paint them, it is recommended to clean the surface before applying colour — reference paints such as Vallejo or Tamiya provide excellent results on small-format metal parts — and allow to dry completely before assembly to avoid compromising the attachment.

Common Mistakes

• Confusing the rim diameter: always check that it is Ø16.9 mm before ordering.
• Using glue unnecessarily: the system is designed to function without it, and adding glue may complicate future replacements.
• Painting without prior preparation: basic cleaning significantly improves colour adhesion.
