Aluminum Button Color KitvsCNC bottom mount

The Bottom Line

Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the 6Sigma Racing CNC bottom mount comes down to whether you want to refine your steering wheel's tactile feel or structurally reinforce your entire wheelbase setup. One is a premium cosmetic and tactile touch-up, while the other is a heavy-duty rig upgrade designed to eliminate flex.

Watch out

6Sigma Racing has a history of fulfillment errors, including shipping the wrong mount or omitting it entirely. Customers also frequently report long shipping delays and poor communication from their support team.

Note

The Asetek kit is purely for owners of Asetek SimSports steering wheels. If you drive primarily in VR, the visual customization of this $89.00 kit will be completely lost on you.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

7.5
Value Rating
  • It significantly improves the tactile feel and grip of your wheel compared to standard plastic caps.
  • It allows you to customize and "de-orange" your Asetek steering wheel for a premium look.

Why choose CNC bottom mount

7.0
Value Rating
  • It provides excellent rigidity and a secure, flex-free fit for direct drive wheelbases.
  • It serves as a sturdier, higher-quality upgrade over the standard wheel deck on compatible 6Sigma rigs.

The Verdict

If you already own an Asetek wheel and want a more premium, tactile interface, the Aluminum Button Color Kit is a solid luxury upgrade despite its high price. However, if you need to eliminate flex on a compatible 6Sigma rig, the CNC bottom mount is structurally excellent, provided you are willing to risk potential shipping and customer service headaches.
