Sim racing · head‑to‑head
We are comparing two entirely different upgrades: a premium, ecosystem-locked cosmetic overhaul for your steering wheel versus a universal pack of utility mounting hardware. One aims to refine your hands-on tactile experience, while the other simply keeps your rig accessories bolted down.
The Trak Racer screw and nut set has known quality control issues, including incorrect sizing like M6 instead of M8. Some users have also experienced screws seizing in the T-nuts, occasionally requiring them to be sawed off entirely.
The Asetek kit is strictly cosmetic and tactile, meaning virtual reality users will get almost zero visual benefit from the $89.00 investment. Additionally, the kit does not include matching aluminum thumb rotaries to complete the look.
If you own an Asetek wheel and want a premium tactile upgrade, the Aluminum Button Color Kit delivers excellent build quality despite its high price. However, if you just need to mount basic accessories to your profile rig, the Trak Racer set is a cheap utility option, provided you do not run into its hardware seizing issues.
