Know before you buy
The MPI SimMax features a universal bolt pattern, making it compatible with most standard quick-release adapters and direct-drive wheelbases on the market.
The 15-inch diameter provides a larger turning radius compared to smaller formula-style wheels, which allows for more precise, measured steering inputs essential for maintaining control on oval tracks.
Yes, suede can wear down or become matted over time due to oils from your hands. We recommend using racing gloves to extend the life of the material and occasionally brushing it with a soft suede brush to maintain the texture.
While the wheel is optimized for the ergonomics of oval track racing, its durable construction and realistic feel make it a versatile choice for any sim racing discipline where you prefer a larger, traditional steering wheel rim.
No, this is a standalone steering wheel rim. You will need to mount it to a compatible button box or hub assembly that supports your specific wheelbase and button configuration.
