The Bottom Line

We are looking at two completely different upgrades: one is a premium cosmetic and tactile overhaul for your steering wheel, while the other is a heavy-duty structural mount for your entire wheelbase. Your choice depends entirely on whether you want to customize your Asetek wheel rim or securely mount a high-torque direct drive base to your aluminum profile rig.

Watch out

Taller drivers should note that bottom-mounting wheelbases on the Trak Racer deck can severely restrict knee and leg clearance. Additionally, aligning the deck symmetrically during assembly is notoriously tedious and a real pain to get right.

Note

The Asetek kit is strictly locked to the Asetek steering wheel ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Trak Racer mount offers universal compatibility across major wheelbase brands and extruded profile rigs.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

7.0

Targeted Value

It significantly improves the tactile feel, grip, and overall build quality of your Asetek wheel compared to standard plastic caps.
It provides a premium look that allows you to "de-orange" and customize your steering wheel.

Why choose TR ONE V2 Base Kit with Universal Wheel Deck

8.5

Targeted Value

It delivers extreme rigidity and rock-solid stability with zero noticeable flex, even when handling high-torque direct drive wheelbases.
The modular, future-proof design allows you to swap only the mounting plate when upgrading wheelbases rather than replacing the entire mount.

The Verdict

If you already own an Asetek wheel and want to replace the cheap-feeling plastic caps with premium aluminum, the Aluminum Button Color Kit is a solid tactile upgrade, though hard to justify at $89.00 if you drive in VR. For those building or upgrading a rig, the TR ONE V2 Base Kit with Universal Wheel Deck is a highly rigid, future-proof mounting solution, provided you do not mind a tedious assembly process and potential leg clearance issues.
