SIMPUSH MOZA R5 レーシングゲームステアリングホイール 改造ハンドル（カーボンファイバー

This article covers SIMPUSH MOZA R5 レーシングゲームステアリングホイール 改造ハンドル（カーボンファイバー, suede, 33cm), the Deluxe edition replacement rim for the MOZA R5 wheel base.

Overview

This is a replacement steering rim for the MOZA R5 direct drive base. The short version: it upgrades the part you hold, not the part that generates force.

Swapping to a 33cm, roughly 600g carbon fiber and suede rim changes grip feel, rim inertia, and the look of your cockpit — it does not change the torque or fidelity of the R5 base itself.

That distinction matters. If your complaint is "not enough force feedback strength," this product will not fix it; a higher-torque base will.

If your complaint is "the stock rim feels cheap in my hands," this is exactly the right fix.

At 33cm, this sits in GT and touring car territory — larger than typical formula-style rims (commonly around 28–30cm) and smaller than a rally-style wheel. It is a deliberate middle ground between quick turn-in and fine steering precision.

Compatibility Guide

MOZA R5 only. The R9 and R16 are not supported — this is a mounting design difference, not a warranty technicality.

Check your base model marking before ordering; if you bought an R5 pedal bundle, the box usually lists the base model too.

Installation means removing three screws from the back of the wheel hub and six hex bolts from the front, then swapping the rim. The included hex key and screwdriver cover the job.

Tighten the six bolts gradually in a diagonal pattern; fully torquing one bolt first can seat the rim slightly off-center.

Also plan for re-centering. Any rim swap can shift the physical mounting angle a little.

After installing, re-run the wheel centering routine in MOZA's configuration software (Pit House) and confirm in-game that the wheel is straight when the car tracks straight. Skipping this leaves a persistent "driving slightly crooked" feeling.

The R5 base is sold separately. This listing is a rim only, and buyers do occasionally misread the product images as including a base.

Product Info

As captured on 13 September 2026, the price on Amazon.co.jp was ¥16,988.

Prices move with stock and sales, so check the product page for the current figure before buying. The eBay entry is a search link with no fixed listed price, so the secondhand market depends entirely on what is listed that day.

For a rim alone, this is a mid-range figure, and reasonable for a carbon-and-suede build.

Reviews stood at 7 total with a 5.0 out of 5 rating (100% positive) at capture time.

Treat that carefully. With only seven ratings, a single defective unit would move the average sharply.

A 100% score here means "no negative review yet," not "quality statistically confirmed." Do not weigh it the same way you would a product with thousands of ratings.

The package contains the rim, two paddle shifters, and a screwdriver. "Deluxe" refers to the included paddles.

The seller and fulfiller is SIMPUSH RACING, which is also your warranty contact — there is no domestic distributor in the chain, so defect claims go through marketplace messaging.

Comparison With Stock and Alternatives

There are three realistic options: keep the stock R5 rim, fit a third-party rim like this one, or buy a first-party MOZA upper-tier rim. The first-party route costs more but gives you vendor-matched mounting and button wiring.

This product sits in between — more than stock, less than a premium OEM rim.

The material tradeoff is real. Suede grips well with sweaty hands but darkens with skin oils and cannot be revived with a damp cloth the way rubber can.

Leather or silicone grips are easier to maintain long term. The carbon panel is there for weight and appearance; if you want maximum panel rigidity above all, a thick aluminum plate wins.

If there is any chance you will replace the base itself soon, price out a higher-torque base first. Moving to something like an R16 changes which rims apply, and this one could end up stranded.

Best Use Cases

This fits R5 owners who are happy with base performance but want better tactile quality. It also suits GT and touring car drivers, where a 33cm rim matches hand-at-9-and-3 driving, and DIY-minded sim racers who enjoy building out a rig — removing six bolts is a low-difficulty modification.

It is not for owners of other bases, for drivers who feel the R5 lacks torque, for formula-only racers who want a smaller rim, or for anyone already content with the stock wheel. Satisfaction here tracks how specific your complaint is.

Before You Buy

The most important caveat concerns the listing data itself. The Amazon page listed a manufacturer name that does not match the SIMPUSH branding of the product.

Third-party listings frequently carry inaccurate manufacturer fields, so this article does not present that value as fact. When you open the page, verify the product by the images, the title, and the explicit "for MOZA R5" statement rather than by the registered metadata fields.

Second, a lighter rim does not make you faster. Lower inertia lets fine vibration through more clearly, which reads as more information.

It also transmits curb strikes straight to your hands, which can increase fatigue in long stints or for drivers with less grip strength. Light is a tradeoff, not a universal upgrade.

Third, treat suede as a consumable. It is meant for bare hands and will flatten and darken over seasons; racing gloves are the practical way to extend its life.

And 33cm will feel large if you mostly drive open-wheelers — a smaller formula rim is the better match there.

Finally, installation is on you. Over-torqued bolts damage threads and the carbon panel; under-torqued bolts produce play while driving.

If you are uneasy with tools or protective of your base warranty, staying stock is a perfectly defensible choice.

FAQ

Q. Does it fit the MOZA R9 or R16?
A. No. MOZA R5 only. Confirm your base model before ordering.

Q. Can I play with just this rim?
A. No. The R5 base and pedals are sold separately; this is a rim only.

Q. Do I need extra tools? A.

Generally no. A hex key and screwdriver are included for the three rear screws and six front bolts.

Tighten diagonally and gradually.

Q. Will the steering center shift after the swap? A.

It can shift slightly. Re-center the wheel in MOZA's software after installing and verify straight-line tracking in game.

Q. Is 600g too light?
A. Lighter rims reveal fine feedback but also pass curb impacts straight through. It cuts both ways.

Q. How do I care for the suede? A.

Brush it to lift the nap; avoid water and detergents. Gloves are the most effective preventive measure.
