The Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit is a premium, purely cosmetic upgrade designed to personalize high-end steering wheels. Meanwhile, the Thrustmaster T-LCM REFRESH KIT is a budget-friendly, functional maintenance package aimed at keeping your pedals running smoothly.
Both of these kits are strictly locked to their respective ecosystems. You cannot use the Asetek buttons on Thrustmaster wheels, nor will the T-LCM parts fit any other pedal sets.
If you own an Asetek wheel and want to eliminate the default orange accents for a more premium tactile feel, the Aluminum Button Color Kit is a high-quality but expensive luxury at $89.00. On the other hand, the $14.99 T-LCM REFRESH KIT is an essential, highly practical purchase for Thrustmaster pedal owners looking to repair broken parts or stiffen up a weak throttle pedal.
