Aluminum Button Color KitvsSet of 10 Cable Management Clips with 10 Cable Ties

The Bottom Line

We are comparing two entirely different upgrades for your rig: the premium, cosmetic Aluminum Button Color Kit from Asetek, and the purely functional Set of 10 Cable Management Clips with 10 Cable Ties from Trak Racer. One is a luxury aesthetic overhaul for your steering wheel, while the other is a utility-focused necessity for keeping your aluminum profile rig tidy.

Watch out

The Trak Racer Cable Management Clips can have tight tolerances, sometimes requiring you to shave them down with a dremel to fit certain aluminum profiles. They are also prone to breaking if forced onto thicker profiles, such as 160mm extrusions with a 6mm lip.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

7.5
Overall Score

  • It replaces standard plastic caps to significantly improve the tactile feel, grip, and build quality of your wheel.
  • It provides a premium look that allows you to fully customize and 'de-orange' your Asetek steering wheel.

Why choose Set of 10 Cable Management Clips with 10 Cable Ties

7.0
Overall Score

  • The simple 90-degree twist-in installation makes securing your rig's wiring quick and easy.
  • It effectively keeps loose cables organized and completely out of the way of your driving.

The Verdict

At $89.00, the Asetek kit is a tough sell for VR users who cannot see their wheel, especially since it lacks matching aluminum thumb rotaries. Meanwhile, the Trak Racer clips currently sit at $5.79, though you will likely need more than one pack to tidy an entire rig.
