Opinions: Aftermarket Steering Wheels

I went with the NRG RST-009R steering wheel, was around $100 on amazon. It's very comfortable, even has indents at 10 and 2 for your thumbs, doesn't sound like much, but it really matters after I've used it and notice it all the time how comfortable it is.

Using the DDM adapter.

I have a pic at A few smaller mods just scroll down a bit.

I don't feel that their adapter added any length, and I didn't want a removable one.

My wife and I both use the NRG. Love it.

I have a D wheel on one and reg on other. I can drive either one and don’t notice the change but the D gives more leg room. The quick connect is great on my sling with the roof. It makes it way easier to get in and out. The non roof has reg connect and it’s easy to get in and out of. So if your planning a top or already have one the quick connect might be better for you but also depends on the top you would select.

Used Sling came with the Assault d-shaped wheel. It was a nice, comfortable, solid-feeling piece but I couldn't get used to it and went with NRG with thumb indents. Very comfortable.

I love my Momo Jet 320mm. I took off a NRG that came on my first Sling because it flexed back and forth so easily. I don't know if it is the specific model that does that or maybe I'm just a Neanderthal.

I’m happy with my stock wheel with a cover I got from WallyWorld. 😄. Cheap, comfortable and it goes with the rest of my slingTheme.

I have a 2018 SL in Navy Blue. I went with the Assault Ballistic D shape wheel with a white stripe on the wheel. Couldn't get Blue when I ordered mine. I went with the DDM adapter because it fills that gap between steering wheel and the steering column cover so you don't see the yellow tape on the clock spring. As far getting used to it I have had no problems with it. If you have to worry about turning the wheel so fast that the flat spot would be a problem the way that triangle handles your probably in deep s#%t already. As far as it being to close to you I am 6ft 5in tall 220lbs with 37in length arms and I have no problems. I also installed the DDM Short Throw Shifter and I love it and its a piece of cake to install.

Same. The NRG wheel felt cheap. Now running a momo and it is firm and much more comfortable.

Well, the NRG (at least the one I have) isn't expensive, but it didn't feel cheap made, I'm happy with it

Love my NRG. Doesn’t feel cheap. Use it for leverage a lot.

Demon Speed I think it is, has the d-shape with the curved bottom in different colors.

I have just the opposite as funcycle for brand name steering wheel lol, mine is the d-shape by GODSPEED now lol. And I use the NRG Short hub adapter. it doesn't add that much to the distance and have the security of the quick release.

Looks good with your color scheme!

I've been looking at one of these because the Assault d-shaped wheel is so expensive.

Have you found quality of the wheel satisfactory? Saw some comments online that worried me.

Is the wheel stiff enough for dynamic cornering? I'm no wildman behind the wheel, but I enjoy active driving!

Thanks,

Doc

You can go here (I have the silver model):

This is a different steering wheel (https://www.protuninglab.com/326alrastwhf.html) in that it's a modified D-shape, but it doesn't seem to rotate the way my current steering wheel (https://slingshotonly.com/pola…eering-wheel-flat-bottom/) does. I originally bought a used TD D-shaped steering wheel with a hub, but I screwed it up during the install, so I tired the PTL wheel which I found a little awkward due to its odd geometry. I bought another TD steering wheel during a sale, but found that pushing on the bottom of the wheel while positioning myself when getting in & out stripped the screws holding the bottom part of the steering wheel rim to the down-spoke. I reinforced that connection by using slightly longer screws with cap-nuts so the screws can not pull out again.

.I have not had any issues with my steering wheel at all. I drive pretty hard. of course that is all through town and not country roads or anything. The steering wheel is very sturdy, no give to it at all. I got it from Amazon.

now that you got the steering wheel all you need is a new parking break handle and shift knob
