Hubs for NARDI wheels
Hello guys
I am posting my question here since I am relatively new. I have not been able to find a definite answer after searching around this forum, so here it goes.
I am looking for a hub to work with the NARDI deep corn steering wheel. So far Works Bell seems to be the most popular. Since my wheel with have a large offset I want to go with the short hub so I can still flick the signal stalk with my finger. Here are examples of the short hub:
Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Works Bell Rapfix Short Boss/Hub - Mazda RX-7 FD3S, Miata NA,NB
https://www.rhdjapan.com/works-bell-...pfix-910s.html
If you notice it has 2 sets of 6-bolt pattern on it, I assume this is for mounting NARDI and MOMO style wheels since they have different patterns. So, can I use this short hub and the NARDI wheel by itself, without the Rapfix quick release from Works Bell? I ask this because the short hub says 'for Rapfix'. Anyone can chip in?
Also, if you have any other idea about an alternative hub for NARDI wheels please let me know. The only other one I found is from DAIKEI, but they have a long standard hub. I do not need to have a quick release. Thank you in advance.

I have tried a short hub on the FC series car (STATE YOUR CAR Dude!)...and had a quick release.
the Short hub just didn't work right and squished everything to the point of binding the steering.
Some guys have had the signal cancelling plastic ring get busted because of the overtightening of the hub.
Look at a MOMO hub that will accompany your wheel.Works Bell is ok and has a nice price to it but in the long run if you want to just put a wheel on and go then the MOMO brand is good enough.
Do not get the cheap China jobbies..you will see they are just bent metal and frankly I wouldn't trust it on a grocery cart let alone an automobile!
Oh..if you put a QR on with the Short hub you basically get a Regular sized hub.
Tossing a regular hub and a QR on just makes the steering wheel into a BIG pizza staring you in the chest!

sorry buddy I have a 93 USDM FD. I was reading some threads and someone briefly mention that he is running a works bell short hub plus a nardi deep corn, exactly what I want, but it wasn't 100% clear from his post that this is fine. I am not sure how I feel about the quick release, I don't see a need to take the wheel off, I mean a stock used 99 steering wheels is more expensive than the Nardi I bought... and it screams rice to me no offense. In my case, just a short hub and my deep offset wheel will make it close to a regular hub plus a flat faced wheel, the QR is out of question.
Anyone who has experience with short hub and nardi deep corn?
