I got the NRG short hub quick release with OMP wheel. Excellent piece of kit.

It does bring the wheel closer but pretty easy to get used to. The only other thing to mention is it also makes the indicator and wiper stalks further away which takes some getting used to. But if you're not gonna use a quick release boss, you won't have that issue 😊

The works bell kit is a tad pricey mate but the quality is undeniable,they feel rock solid once fitted though and was my preference when purchasing a kit for my own car.My wife has purchased a NRG kit for her car which I am in the process of fitting for her as soon as I have ten minutes spareI just put the kit on her steering wheel to show you the look,they are very well built and reasonably priced too

I used to have the works bell quick release on my last blob sti with a flat wheel (no dish).... Excellent piece of kit with no play whatsoever.
Word of warning though, I changed back to the standard wheel after a few weeks as I just couldn't get used to how muck closer it was... Standard seat and wheel set up distance and angle is pretty perfect IMO.
I sold my works bell stuff on here within 24hrs of advertising so didn't loose on it really.
So in a nutshell, buy the works bell from playskool motorsport, if you like it great, if you don't someone on here will snap it up, pardon the pun

Agree,but the price difference compared to the NRG makes the NRG set up a complete bargain as they function completely the same as the worksbell with rock solid fitment and mechanism Just the same,if you have the extra monies worksbell but the NRG is a worthy contender.SJ.

I used the works bell because it was proven and used by many racing/rally teams, in fact Frayz put me onto playskool and works bell and I practically bought on his recommendation and a little bit of research.
I can't vouch for the nrg but if stonejedi is endorsing then I would say it also would do the job intended.
As stated above stay clear of cheap alternatives as there is some real horror stories out there.... Buy cheap and buy twice and probably have a brown trouser moment when it snaps off in your hands !
