I bought one from the same seller and it is a very nice piece. I have a 30mm though, just needed to space it out a little. If anything I might get the 50mm.

I wanted one from them but I want one that's 65MM thick. IMO the NRG hub is probably the best substitute... plus you can decorate your room with your wheel, meaning it's a bit harder for anyone to even CONSIDER driving your car off...

Do these work with the stock wheel? I'd like to see some pics of that.

No... only 6-bolt aftermarket wheels (they're half the reason you buy an aftermarket wheel anyway).

IIRC those spacers will work with both Nardi and Momo-pattern wheels (or Sparco).

No they won't work with a stock wheel. If you had an aftermarket steering wheel with either a Nardi or Momo/Sparco hub then yes.

Having the NRG quick release mate up to the Nardi steering wheel hub was a different story... I had a cheap Ebay ball bearing quick release before and that thing sucked. It had so much play in it. The NRG slim (FET copy) is very nice and feels very tight compared to the old one.



Edit: Haha, Valkyrie beat me to it.

I concur, avoid the eBay copies.

They don't have any play in terms of turning the wheel, and you can't really notice it while driving, but the wheel feels like it's on there loose (pushing on opposite sides of it for example) when you actually put any force on it.

Very annoying.

an option true, but for me I needed a spacer not just a little more finger room behind the wheel.
