OMP Steering Wheels
OMP steering wheels for road and motorsport: 320–350 mm diameters, flat and deep-dish options, in leather or Alcantara. Iconic three-spoke and modern drift/rally designs using the proven 6×70 mm bolt pattern. Choose the diameter and dish that suit your driving position, then pair with the correct hub/quick release for precise fitment and control.
Brief summary + key benefits
OMP steering wheels bring motorsport ergonomics to road cars. Rigid aluminium frames, carefully contoured rims and premium leather/Alcantara grips provide precise feedback. Sizes typically span 320–350 mm, with flat and deep-dish designs and the widely compatible 6×70 mm bolt pattern.
Technical Basics
Diameter: 320–350 mm—smaller feels quicker and sportier; larger allows smoother inputs on long drives. Dish: flat (0–15 mm) or deep (≈60–95 mm). Deep dish brings the rim closer to the driver, useful with race seats and rearward seating positions.
Construction: high-strength aluminium spokes with foam-formed rims, wrapped in leather or Alcantara. Leather is durable and easy to clean; Alcantara maximises grip—especially with gloves—at the cost of more care.
Pattern: the 6×70 mm pattern mates with most hubs and quick releases; always verify hub taper and centring for a precise fit.
Ergonomics: spoke geometry, thicker rims and a 12-o’clock centre marker aid orientation. Ensure the wheel doesn’t block the cluster and that stalks remain reachable.
Selection Criteria
Use case: for daily road cars, 330–350 mm and near-flat rims offer comfort. For track/drift, 320–350 mm with thicker rims and deep-dish designs supports rapid hand transitions.
Finish & feel: choose leather for practicality and longevity; Alcantara for maximum traction with gloves. Perforations and matte textures help in heat.
Fitment: you’ll need the correct hub (boss kit) for your car and optionally a quick release. If your vehicle has an airbag, follow local rules—removing airbags for road use is generally discouraged.
Positioning: tune the seat–wheel–shifter triangle together. Deep dish can reduce the need for spacers, but check stalk reach and gauge visibility.
Installation & Maintenance
Install: disconnect the battery and allow airbag systems to discharge. Remove the OE wheel per manufacturer instructions. Seat the hub fully, torque bolts to spec and apply threadlocker. Centre the wheel and verify horn/controls.
Care: pH-neutral cleaners/conditioners for leather; gently brush Alcantara and avoid over-wetting. After track sessions, air out the wheel to prevent sweat buildup.
Checks: periodically verify bolt torque, quick-release play and grip covering condition. Address any creaks, movement or cracks immediately.
FAQ
320, 330 or 350 mm?
320–330 mm for tight cabins and quick inputs; 350 mm for touring and relaxed control.
Flat vs deep dish?
Deep-dish brings the rim closer—ideal with race seats; flat keeps OE-like reach.
Daily use with Alcantara?
Possible, but it needs more care; leather is lower-maintenance for daily duty.
Will any 6×70 hub fit?
The pattern usually matches, but hub taper and centring vary—follow wheel and hub fitment charts.
Airbag legality?
Regulations vary; for public roads, removing airbags is generally not recommended. Competition may require an approved quick release and safety gear.
