The Asetek Racing Closed D Black Leather Rim is a versatile, handmade steering wheel rim for drivers who want one rim that does a bit of everything. Road cars, GT machinery, mixed terrain and competitive league racing all suit its shape, so it is an easy pick as a first rim on an Asetek Racing GT Button Box or as a sharp, understated addition to an existing collection. Its all-black hand-stitched leather with a single red center indicator keeps the look clean and minimalist, the most discreet finish of the Closed D pair.
The Closed D profile is what sets this rim apart from the round versions: the flattened bottom frees up extra leg room in the cockpit without giving up performance or ergonomics, which helps in tighter rigs and when you sit close to the wheel. The 328 mm rim is built on a well-shaped ergonomic mold, and the genuine leather is perforated across the grip areas so your hands keep a steady hold through long stints and quick corrections. The materials are chosen to echo the feel of a real sports car wheel, for a durable, authentic touch.
Installation is purely mechanical: the rim bolts onto any Asetek Racing GT Button Box with the included mounting screws and 2.5 mm Allen key, and no software is involved. Because every rim is handcrafted, small variations in stitching, leather stretch and the finish around the corners are normal and part of its character. The family also includes an orange-accented Closed D version, Open D rims in leather or suede and Round rims, so you can match the shape and grip to the cars you drive. Please note this is the rim only; a GT Button Box is required and sold separately.
