Why Choose a Lightweight Motorsport Steering Wheel?

A lightweight steering wheel reduces inertia through the steering system, helping the car feel more responsive during rapid direction changes. In rally and circuit driving, this can improve steering feedback, reduce driver fatigue and increase precision during committed driving.

The RRS Extra Light Carbon Steering Wheel is especially popular in:

• Forest rally cars
• Tarmac rally builds
• Track day cars
• Drift cars
• Historic competition cars
• Time attack and sprint builds

Compared to heavier road-car steering wheels, the reduced weight helps create a more direct and connected steering feel.

Steering Wheel Size Guide: Is 350mm Right for You?

350mm is one of the most popular motorsport steering wheel sizes because it balances:

• Fast steering response
• Good leverage
• Cockpit clearance
• Driver comfort

Drivers wanting ultra-fast steering often move to smaller 330mm wheels, while heavier historic cars or off-road vehicles may prefer 380mm wheels.

For most rally and circuit applications, 350mm remains the go-to size.

Compatibility & Installation

The RRS Extra Light Carbon Steering Wheel uses the common 6x70mm PCD fitment pattern used across many motorsport boss kits and quick-release hubs.

Important:

• Horn button not included
• Compatible horn button available separately
• Boss kit required
• Quick-release hub compatible

Professional installation is recommended for competition vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this steering wheel FIA approved?

Steering wheels themselves are not typically FIA-homologated items in the same way as seats or harnesses. However, this wheel is designed specifically for motorsport and competition vehicle use.

What size steering wheel is best for rallying?

350mm is widely considered one of the best all-round sizes for rally driving because it balances fast steering response with enough leverage for loose-surface control.

What does dish depth mean?

Dish depth refers to how far the wheel sits towards the driver. A deeper dish can improve driving position in cars with fixed seats, cages or extended dashboard layouts.

Is a carbon steering wheel worth it?

For performance driving, a lightweight carbon steering wheel can noticeably improve steering feel, reduce fatigue and increase responsiveness compared to heavier factory wheels.

Does this fit my car?

The wheel uses a standard 6x70mm motorsport drilling pattern. Fitment depends on using the correct boss kit for your vehicle.

Can this be used on the road?

This depends on your vehicle setup and local regulations. Many motorsport steering wheels are primarily intended for off-road or competition use.
