F104 rim cover technical note

This rim cover set is a low-mass cosmetic upgrade for the Tamiya F104 platform, intended to present a flat wheel face and provide minor protection from handling scuffs. The design focuses on accurate rim profile matching to avoid interference with rotating assemblies.

Fitment and role: Manufactured to align with the common F104 rim profile, the covers secure to the existing wheel using factory fasteners to conceal spokes and produce a consistent frontal surface. They are intended for appearance and light abrasion protection and should not be used as a performance modification.

Installation notes: Standard fitting involves wheel removal, precise alignment of the cover to the rim face and reinstallation with the wheel nut or original fixing. Verify radial and axial clearances to ensure no contact with tyres, suspension arms or brake components before any track use.

Tuning and maintenance: Use these covers for consistent presentation during race meets and transport. Inspect mounting points for deformation and replace covers that show wear or that create friction against moving parts.

The covers are moulded to match typical F104 rim faces; measure your rim profile and trial-fit to confirm alignment and clearance.
When installed correctly the mass is minimal and should not materially change static balance, but it is good practice to check for any imbalance after fitting.
Confirm that each cover clears tyres and steering geometry, and inspect after practice runs for any signs of rubbing or loosening.
