FAQs
Is this steering wheel legal for all racing series?
No, you must check your specific racing series regulations. The wheel is supplied undrilled and has a unique shape; verification of legality is the user's responsibility.
What size steering hub adapter do I need?
This wheel is undrilled and requires a compatible steering hub adapter for your vehicle's steering column. The specific adapter needed depends on your car's make, model, and year. Always confirm the bolt pattern compatibility between the adapter and the OMP wheel.
How do I clean the suede grip?
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by thorough drying and brushing. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh cleaning agents.
What is the diameter of this steering wheel?
The OMP Indy Open steering wheel has a diameter of 250mm.
What does 'undrilled' mean for this steering wheel?
'Undrilled' means the steering wheel itself does not have pre-drilled mounting holes. You will need to source a compatible steering hub adapter that has the correct bolt pattern to attach to the wheel.
Will this wheel fit my road car?
This wheel is designed for competition racing and is typically not suitable for direct installation on a standard road car due to safety, airbag, and regulatory differences. It requires a specific racing steering hub.
Troubleshooting
Wheel is not centered after installation.
Re-check the alignment of the steering hub adapter to the steering column. Ensure the steering wheel is mounted at the correct orientation on the hub. Some hub adapters allow for minor positional adjustments.
Suede grip feels slippery or worn.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Ensure hands are clean and dry before driving. If the suede is significantly damaged, professional re-trimming may be required.
Bolt holes do not align with the steering hub.
Verify that you have the correct steering hub adapter for your vehicle and that it is compatible with the OMP wheel's bolt pattern. The wheel itself is undrilled, so precise hub selection is critical.
