To Suede or Not to Suede, That is the Question.
#21
Yes, but theirs is more minimalist/shallow which reduces issues of stack-up length, i.e., steering wheel in the chest.
I have their splined QR which I bought off of local spec racer - it's a nice piece, though for piece of mind I suggest a set crew AND ample loctite (I didn't want to tack weld).

Miatacage Steering Shaft Adapter for Mazda Miata
Plus this.
S-Box Engineering Quick Disconnect
A little pricey, but I like how the wheel can only go on one way.

The s-box is really weird. but it looks like it will eventually get the same slop problem as splined QRs. Why the Works Bell/NRG ball style works so well is that as it wears the ***** can just push in further, up to a point, and it should wear much slower than a splined adapter. If NRG scares you, you could always buy the works bell one, the price has come down substantially in recent years.
Do people really run that miata cage one with only 3 bolts that a threaded into aluminum and not steel?

Worry about the quality of the fasteners.

Who gives a ****? The "pull-out" load for threaded 6061/7075 is going to be far more than required for this application, not that it matters since a steering wheel shouldn't really see significant loads in this direction. The bolts are taking most of the load in shear when you're yanking the wheel back and forth with stickies and a manual rack.

We have had the same reports going on in this thread. Suede feels fantastic but will build up dirt, and get matted. if your going to change out wheels every year get the suede. If you only want to buy one wheel then get the leather.
I might order one of these. We got a Joes Racing aluminum wheel in our miata. on a hot day that thing will melt your fingers. but it's crazy light.

How did you guys adapter it to a 6 bolt hub? I couldnt find an adapter that to do a 3 bolt wheel on a 6 bolt hub (billions of adapters to put 6 bolt wheels on 3 bolt hubs though) so I end up making my own, not terribly happy with the centering of it.

Thats the wheel I bought I wrapped it with tennis racket grip.

We ran the Joes racing quick disconnect that we would not recommend. it had a 3 bolt, but after a year of use it has a lot of play in it. to be totally honest it had a lot of play when we installed it. if you looking for a weld on, do a woodward or longacre. It's hard to beat the momo or sparco bolt on.
