Sim racing · head‑to‑head
Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the Next Level Racing® Lockable Castor Wheels comes down to a choice between cosmetic personalization and practical rig mobility. One is a premium visual upgrade for your steering wheel, while the other is a utility upgrade to make your heavy cockpit easier to live with.
The Asetek kit lacks matching aluminum thumb rotaries, making the visual overhaul feel somewhat incomplete for its $89.00 price tag. Meanwhile, the Next Level Racing castors raise your rig by a couple of inches and can still slide slightly under heavy load-cell braking.
These accessories belong to entirely different ecosystems. The Asetek kit only fits Asetek SimSports steering wheels, while the Next Level Racing wheels are designed for specific NLR cockpits and stands like the F-GT and Wheel Stand 2.0.
If you want to customize your wheel's aesthetics and tactile feel, the Asetek kit is a premium but expensive $89.00 upgrade that VR users can safely skip. For those struggling with a heavy rig, the $50.48 Next Level Racing castor wheels offer essential mobility, though you must prepare for a slight height increase and potential sliding under heavy load-cell braking.
