Sim racing · head‑to‑head
We are looking at two entirely different upgrades: one is a premium cosmetic overhaul for your steering wheel, while the other is a budget-friendly structural utility piece. Your choice depends entirely on whether you are customizing your wheel's look or bolting your cockpit together.
The Trak Racer brackets have faced frequent complaints regarding missing hardware in shipments due to poor packaging. Some users also report that the brackets themselves can feel cheap and occasionally crack under load.
The Asetek kit is only compatible with Asetek SimSports steering wheels and does not include matching aluminum thumb rotaries. If you use VR, the visual upgrade of this kit will be completely lost on you.
If you own an Asetek wheel and want to replace the stock plastic caps, the Aluminum Button Color Kit delivers a genuine tactile upgrade despite its $89.00 price tag. However, if you just need to mount profile accessories, the Trak Racer 40x40mm Corner Bracket is a cheap but flawed utility option that suffers from quality control issues.
