The Heritage of the "King of Vertex"
Inspired by the tire-smoke of Ebisu and the high-speed midnight runs of the Hanshin Expressway, the Vertex 1996 is built for the driver who lives at the redline. The 13-inch diameter sharpens steering ratios, while the high-quality anticorodal aluminum frame ensures maximum lightness and minimal steering inertia. Whether you're building a track-spec Silvia or a clean Kyusha classic, this 330mm racing wheel delivers a tactile mechanical connection that eliminates slop and promotes an immersive manual transmission experience. It’s a clean mod that speaks volumes—the mandatory finishing touch for a dialed-in JDM cockpit.

To achieve a hellaflush cockpit, pair this wheel with a high-quality hub adapter that matches the 6x70mm bolt pattern. This deep dish steering wheel is designed to move the rim closer to your body—ensure your seat position allows for comfortable legroom before final torque. For a Verified-Standard install, check your horn wire clearance within the hub to prevent binding during high-angle transitions.
Garage Mechanic Briefing
Will this fit my car's steering column?
Yes, as long as you use a vehicle-specific aftermarket hub (Boss Kit). This wheel uses the standard 6-bolt pattern common to Vertex, MOMO, and NRG hubs.
Is it suitable for daily driving?
While it’s a Verified-Build for rally motorsport, it’s a popular interior choice for street cars. Just keep in mind it replaces your factory airbag.
Does it come with a Boss Kit?
No, the steering wheel adapter is purchased separately. We recommend checking our store for the correct hub for your specific chassis.
