Driving style

The GT Alcantara rim offers the same 33 cm round GT shape as the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT, suited to GT3, GT4, touring and road cars in ACC, iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, Gran Turismo 7 and Forza Motorsport. The lime green center stripe gives a quick reference for the straight-ahead position during slides and recoveries.

It fits Fanatec hub owners who want a GT-sized rim with Alcantara and a more colorful look. Best for GT, touring and road racing; less suited for formula cars, where smaller flat-bottom rims are more common.

Build quality

Mid-range build

Brushed, anodized aluminum spokes are wrapped in genuine Alcantara with a genuine leather center stripe and contrast cross stitching. The rim has no electronics, so the build is simple and sturdy. Alcantara holds up better than suede according to community commenters, but it still needs care against sweat, and glove wear is not covered by Fanatec's warranty.

Software

The ClubSport Wheel Rim GT Alcantara has no electronics and needs no software. Buttons, paddles, displays and console licensing come from the Fanatec hub it is mounted on and the wheel base, configured in the Fanatec App on Windows PC.

Platform support follows the hub and base: Xbox requires an Xbox hub such as the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox, and PlayStation requires a PlayStation-licensed base. On PC, SimHub and other tools work with the hub's inputs as usual.

Frequently asked questions

Which hubs does the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT Alcantara fit?

Fanatec lists the Podium Hub, ClubSport Universal Hub (all versions) and CSL Universal Hub, with no drilling needed. The hub is not included and is required for use.

Does it work on Xbox and PlayStation?

The rim itself has no electronics. Console support comes from the hub and wheel base: an Xbox hub is needed for Xbox, and a PlayStation-licensed base for PlayStation. PC works with any Fanatec hub and base.

What is the 33 cm GT Alcantara rim best suited for?

Fanatec calls the 33 cm diameter ideal for a wide variety of GT cars. It suits GT, touring and road racing, and the lime green center stripe helps you see where straight-ahead is.

How durable is the Alcantara?

Commenters on Overtake.gg describe Alcantara as more durable and easier to clean than suede, but several sim racers report sweat ages Alcantara quickly and wear gloves to protect it. Fanatec recommends cleaning with a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water, without chemicals.

Does the warranty cover worn Alcantara?

Fanatec states that extra wear on rim materials and stitching caused by gloves is not covered under warranty, and it does not recommend specific glove brands.

GT Alcantara or the standard ClubSport Wheel Rim GT?

Both share the 33 cm aluminum frame and 979 g weight. The standard GT uses genuine suede, while the GT Alcantara uses Alcantara with lime green stripe and stitching. Choose by grip material and look.

Is it worth buying the rim on its own?

At $169.99 in the US it is the cheapest way to add a GT Alcantara rim if you already own a Fanatec hub. Without a hub, the complete ClubSport Steering Wheel GT Alcantara V2 pairs this rim with a ClubSport Universal Hub V2.

Does the rim need software?

No. It is a passive rim; buttons, paddles and displays come from the hub, and settings are handled by the wheel base in the Fanatec App.
