A lot of people here have used NRG and I don't think I have heard any complaints.

What did you expect for $24? You get what you pay for. A NRG is 100+

nrg setup ran me over 200+than my steering wheel was 70.
however, its one of the best anti thefts devices out there. just get a lock too, and you don't need anything else.

NRG is a COPY of the WORKS BELL Rapafix II.
NRG's looks good, never seen it in person.

I have the Works Bell Rapafix II with the optional Pull Paddles and lock mounted to an NRG short hub. 3+years daily use with no problems.

Works Bell is the originator of the "ball-lock" design.

They are expensive though.

My whole set-up with the Personal Neo-Grinta wheel and Honda button cost me a smooth $1000

You get what you pay for....

ebay sell the nrg setups for hub, quick release and lock for around $300 include shipping. Thief hate seeing that installed, they take what they can take then damage the car instead taking it.

Welcome to owning a Honda. Oh, avoid buying BS parts off Ebay, especially if they're what link you to components that keep the car on the road.
