Pit Lane Insights
To achieve that perfect hellaflush cockpit, pair this KEY'S Racing Leather Steering Wheel with a vehicle-specific hub adapter to maintain your factory indicator reach. Unlike suede, the smooth leather finish is ideal for daily driving or city use, offering superior resistance to hand oils and UV exposure while maintaining a premium look without the need for racing gloves. For a surgical install, ensure all mounting bolts are hand-started before applying final torque to prevent cross-threading.
Assembly Line FAQ
Will this steering wheel fit my specific car?
Yes, provided you use a 6-bolt hub adapter (Boss Kit) designed for your chassis. This steering wheel uses the industry-standard 70mm PCD bolt pattern compatible with Nardi and Works Bell hubs.
Why choose a flat-type wheel over a deep-dish?
A flat steering wheel keeps the rim at a standard distance from the dashboard, which is preferred for increased legroom, easier ingress/egress, and a better driving position for taller pilots.
Is leather more durable than suede for daily use?
Absolutely. Real leather is much more resistant to sweat and oils, making it easier to clean and significantly more durable for daily drivers compared to suede, which can become shiny and matted without gloves.
