FAQs
What type of vehicles is this steering wheel best suited for?
The OMP Kubic steering wheel is specifically designed for competition use in saloon racing cars and rally cars, where precise control and direct feedback are crucial.
Will this fit my car directly?
This steering wheel fits all standard Momo, OMP, and Sparco type boss kits. You will need to ensure you have the correct compatible boss kit for your specific vehicle's steering column.
What is the 'dish' of this steering wheel?
The 'dish' refers to the curvature of the steering wheel from the mounting hub to the rim. This OMP Kubic steering wheel has a 'Flat' dish, meaning it is not significantly curved towards the driver.
How do I clean the suede grip?
Gently brush the suede with a soft, dry brush. For light marks, use a slightly damp cloth specifically designed for suede. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet or using chemical cleaners.
What are the dimensions of the grip section?
The grip section has an oval profile measuring 35mm in width and 28mm in depth.
Can I use this for daily driving?
While possible, this wheel is optimized for racing. Its compact size and suede grip may offer a different feel compared to a standard road car steering wheel, which some drivers might find less comfortable for extended daily use.
Does it come with a boss kit?
No, the steering wheel is sold separately from the boss kit. You will need to purchase a compatible boss kit for your vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Horn not working
Check that the horn wiring is correctly connected to the boss kit and the steering wheel's horn button mechanism. Ensure the boss kit is correctly grounded.
Wheel feels loose after installation
Verify that all mounting bolts securing the steering wheel to the boss kit are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Ensure the boss kit itself is securely fastened to the steering column.
Suede grip feels slippery
Ensure your hands are clean and dry. Suede can become less grippy if it absorbs oils or moisture. Try a gentle cleaning with a suede brush to restore texture. For extreme conditions, consider racing gloves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This OMP Kubic steering wheel is designed to fit any standard Momo, OMP, or Sparco steering wheel hub (boss kit). Ensure you have the correct type of boss kit for your vehicle's steering column before installation.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old steering wheel, attaching the appropriate boss kit to the steering column, and then mounting the OMP Kubic wheel onto the boss kit using the provided hardware. It is highly recommended to have this installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function, especially the horn connection and airbag disabling (if applicable to the vehicle).
Care: To maintain the suede grip, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and oils. Clean gently with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth specifically designed for suede. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically inspect the wheel for wear and tear, especially around the grip areas.
