Default key!s racing???

i saw a key's racing deep dish suede steering wheel on a honda tuning mag feature car a while back and instantly fell in love with it. i found their website and noticed they make shift ***** too. however i also noticed the ***** i saw were the cheapy autozone style where they use 3 allen screws to attach to a plastic sleeve this makes me doubt the company, as no good parts company i know of would dare sell trash like that. someone give me some info on this company?

momo ***** are the same way, doing it that way is so that it will fit alot of different brand cars that use different thread pitches on the shifters.

agreed. gives the company a bigger variety of consumers instead of making the same **** in different sizes or whatever to fit different cars. easier production for the company. I work in a production plant that makes many different little things for cars and trust me easier production is the way any company wants to go lol

That doesnt make them cheap it makes them smart and cuts costs down if they made specific ***** for specific cars then their steering wheels would cost 1200 and the ***** would be 450.

Their only steering wheels I've seen are the ones with the huge logo stitched on the wheel. No thanks. Those things are ugly as sin. I've had a Momo and a Personal but I'm getting a Sparco 383 next.

i know its a really out there wheel. different. i like it, thats what's cool about our hobby, we can be as diverse as we want and it doesn't matter, the general public can't think any worse of us haha :D

no, its poor quality. i'd be willing to pay 3 times the amount for a threaded ****, the plastic sleeve ones are not worth the packaging they come in, if you want to buy a part that strips out in one week be my guest. by the way i've personally purchased twenty dollar ***** machined out of aluminum and threaded to fit our cars. and still use it actually

now back on topic does anyone know anything about the company, are they reputable or not? im asuming its not as bad as i thought though thanks to gambit informing me that momo does the same with their ***** and i know their products are great from personal experience.

on a side note though, im so tired of non helpful members on here, just people wanting to start a fight over every single post. can't be taken seriously in real life? feeling bad about parts you shouldn't have bought? join a forum!

nardy,personal,vertex and Key!s racing it's all made by the same company "ATS" if you guys have owned all the mentioned steering wheels you'd know this.
I have a Key!s steering wheels and i love it it's very good quality imo. I don't know why you're questioning there reputation because they were smart enough to save and cost and at the same time have a much diverse market for the consumer. Varis Makes there shift ***** the same way. Would you question Varis reputation? haha.

I was just like you when i first saw the Key's steering wheel. Feel for it right away but it wasn't a picture when i seen it. It was in a tracked out EVO when i went to Sebring Raceway with my cousin for a NASA event. He had the shift **** too. Liked it so much i bought myself a Key's deep cone wheel and the ****. I love it.
