Asetek Racing Open D Black Suede Rim

The Asetek Racing Open D Black Suede Rim wraps the open-top Open D shape in genuine suede, the material many drivers associate with real race car cockpits. It is built for a broad range of driving, from road cars and GT racing to rough terrain and competitive events, and it is the Open D choice for anyone who prefers the soft, tactile feel of suede over leather. The all-black finish gives an Asetek Racing GT Button Box a stealthy, purposeful look on the rig.

Suede is what sets this rim apart from its leather sibling. Its soft but hard-wearing surface gives you a direct, tactile connection with the car, helping you feel small corrections and keep a firm hold when the wheel is working hard. The 328 mm rim sits on an ergonomic mold for a steady grip, and the open top keeps the dashboard in full view at all times, so you never lose sight of your revs, gear or delta. Asetek recommends wearing racing gloves with suede rims to keep the surface in good condition.

Installation is straightforward: the rim bolts to any Asetek Racing GT Button Box with the included mounting screws and 2.5 mm Allen key, with no software needed. As each rim is handcrafted, slight variations in stitching, material stretch and the finish around the corners are normal. If you prefer a perforated leather feel with the same open shape, look at the Open D Black Leather Rim. Please note this is the rim only; a GT Button Box is required and sold separately.
