Detail and track presence with the Sloting Plus 16.6 mm White Enkeir hub caps
In the world of 1/32 slot racing, the small details make the difference between a well-prepared car and one that is truly finished. The Enkeir hub caps from Sloting Plus in white and 16.6 mm in diameter are one of those finishes that, once mounted, visually elevate the overall look of the wheel and provide that scale touch that the most demanding enthusiasts value so highly.
Function and performance
The hub caps serve both an aesthetic and practical function: they cover the wheel hub, protect the assembly, and provide a closer appearance to that of a real miniature vehicle. The white Enkeir design is particularly striking when combined with dark tyres, creating that characteristic visual contrast found in many competition liveries.

Compatibility and installation
Designed for 1/32 scale, these hub caps are intended to fit hubs compatible with that 16.6 mm diameter. Before purchasing, it is advisable to check the measurements of your wheel hub to ensure the correct fit. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools: they are pressed on carefully to avoid forcing the plastic.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake when choosing hub caps is not verifying the exact diameter of the hub before buying. Sloting Plus offers various sizes in its spare parts catalogue, so it is important to confirm that the 16.6 mm corresponds to your current wheels. Another point to consider is not to force the fit if there is resistance: an incorrect fit can deform the hub cap or damage the hub.
Frequently asked questions
How many units are included in the pack?
The pack contains 4 units of 16.6 mm white Enkeir hub caps.
Are they compatible with any 1/32 slot wheel?
They are designed for 1/32 scale, but compatibility depends on the diameter of each specific wheel hub. It is essential to verify that your hub can accommodate a 16.6 mm hub cap before installation.
Can they be painted to change the colour?
Yes, being plastic parts, they can be painted with suitable paint for that material, such as Vallejo or Tamiya references specific for plastic. It is recommended to lightly sand and apply primer before the final colour for better adhesion.
Are they press-fit or do they require adhesive?
The usual system for hub caps of this type is press-fit. The use of adhesive is not recommended for a first installation, as it complicates their removal if you wish to change them.
