Aluminum Button Color KitvsSimagic P1000 Pedal Elastomers

The Bottom Line

We are looking at two entirely different upgrade philosophies: Asetek's premium wheel customization kit versus Simagic's functional pedal tuning kit. One is a luxury visual overhaul for your steering wheel, while the other directly alters your physical braking performance.

Watch out

The Simagic P1000 elastomers are known to suffer from physical drift and relaxation over time, which leads some drivers to abandon them for springs. Additionally, the transition between spring and elastomer compression can create a jarring clunking sensation during heavy braking.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

7.0
Upgrade Value
  • It significantly improves the tactile feel, grip, and overall build quality of your Asetek wheel compared to the stock plastic caps.
  • It provides a premium look that allows you to completely customize or "de-orange" your steering wheel.

Why choose Simagic P1000 Pedal Elastomers

8.0
Upgrade Value
  • It offers thousands of potential spring and elastomer combinations to highly customize your pedal travel and stiffness.
  • It significantly improves trail braking consistency and feel compared to the stock out-of-the-box setup.

The Verdict

If you want to rid your Asetek wheel of plastic caps and do not mind the steep $89.00 price tag, the Aluminum Button Color Kit delivers an undeniable premium feel. However, for Simagic P1000 owners, the $20.99 elastomer kit is a highly functional performance upgrade that directly aids trail braking, despite its lack of documentation and long-term durability quirks.
