Not every wheel mod fits every driving style, and the 12-inch Round Wheel Mod exists specifically for the drivers the Formula mod doesn’t serve: rally, oval, and drift racers who want something that steers like an actual road car rather than an open-wheel formula car.
- 305mm full aluminum rim
- Microfiber covering
- Weighs approximately 840 grams
- Compatible with Moza ES series wheels
Built to Feel Like a Real Car’s Wheel
At a full 305mm diameter, this rim replaces the original ES rim with something that closely resembles a genuine road car steering wheel in both size and feel. Reviewers describe turning it as easy and natural, with smooth, communicative feedback during countersteering specifically, a detail that matters a lot for the rally and drift audience this mod targets.
Where It Really Shines
A significant number of owners specifically call out how much this mod helps with oval racing, where the larger, rounder rim better matches the sustained, smooth steering inputs that discipline demands compared to a formula-style wheel built for quick, precise inputs.
Worth Knowing: Reviewers describe the stock 10-inch wheel as feeling like a toy by comparison once this mod is installed, a genuinely significant upgrade in feel for a relatively low additional cost on top of an existing ES wheel purchase.
A Few Honest Quality Notes
Not every review is flawless. At least one reviewer noted the yellow centering stripe sitting slightly off from true center, and some flex was reported when the wheel is pulled on hard. These are minor quality control quibbles rather than significant functional problems, but worth knowing about rather than assuming perfection.
