Pack of 4 multi-spoke wheel covers, 16.6 mm in white, manufactured by Sloting Plus. Designed for the preparation and customization of wheels on 1/32 scale slot cars, with a clean and precise fit that provides the ultimate visual finish to your builds.
Sloting Plus Hub Caps for Complete Preparation in 1/32 Scale
When preparing a slot car with care, details matter. The 16.6 mm Multispoke Hub Caps from Sloting Plus are the final touch that provides visual coherence to the wheel assembly, covering the hub with a clean white finish. A small element that makes a difference in the overall appearance of the car on track or on display.
Function and Performance
The hub caps serve a dual purpose in wheel preparation for slot: on one hand, they provide an aesthetic finish that replicates the appearance of real cars at scale; on the other, they help protect the hub and maintain the coherence of the wheel-rim assembly. The multispoke design of these Sloting Plus hub caps allows them to integrate naturally with different types of rims, offering versatility in various setups.

Compatibility and Installation
These hub caps are designed for 1/32 scale wheels with a rim diameter compatible with 16.6 mm. It is essential to verify before installation that the inner diameter of the hub cap fits correctly with the rim you are using, as an improper fit can compromise both the appearance and performance of the assembly. Sloting Plus is a benchmark brand in spare parts and preparation tools for slot, and these hub caps follow the same precision philosophy that characterises their entire range.
Installation and Preparation
The installation process is straightforward: fit the hub cap onto the rim ensuring it is well seated before mounting the wheel on the axle. If you plan to paint them or modify their finish to match a specific livery, the white base colour makes it easier to work with modelling paints like Vallejo or Tamiya without the need for additional priming.
Common Mistakes
- Not verifying the diameter: always confirm that 16.6 mm is the correct size for your rims before purchasing.
- Forcing the fit: if the hub cap does not fit smoothly, check the rim. Forcing it can deform or damage the hub.
- Assuming universal compatibility: although the multispoke design is versatile, not all hub caps fit all rims. Check your rim specifications.
