MOZA 12-inch Round Wheel Mod for ES Series

305 mm round aluminum rim for the ES, ES Lite and ESX wheels

Description

The MOZA 12-inch Round Wheel Mod replaces the rim of the MOZA ES, ES Lite and ESX steering wheels, which ship with the R3 and R5 bundles, with a 12-inch (305 mm) round rim.

Build. The rim is aviation-grade aluminum alloy with microfiber leather grips and weighs about 850 g (1.4 kg with the button box), according to Apex Sim Racing. It is 25 mm larger than the stock ES rim, and shifter paddle extension blocks are included so the paddles stay within reach.

Use. The wheel's own buttons and electronics stay in place, so platform support follows the ES or ESX wheel it is fitted to. Buyers use it to replace the D-shaped R5 bundle rim for drifting, rally and road driving.

Driving style

The 12-inch rim suits R3 and R5 owners who drift, rally or drive road cars and trucks in Assetto Corsa, CarX, EA WRC, BeamNG.drive and Forza Horizon, where a round wheel makes hand-over-hand steering and countersteering easier. Buyers say it adds inertia and feels more natural on corner entry.

Best for drift, rally and casual road driving on ES-based wheels; less suited for formula or GT drivers who prefer a smaller, lighter rim, where the Formula Wheel Mod fits better.

Build quality

Mid-range build

The rim is aviation-grade aluminum alloy with microfiber leather grips. Buyers describe premium-feeling materials, though one reports some flex at the top center strip.

Software

The mod has no electronics. Buttons and paddles stay on the ES/ESX wheel and work through the MOZA base. After changing rim size, you may want to adjust steering angle and force feedback strength in MOZA Pit House or the in-game settings.

Frequently asked questions

Which wheels does the 12-inch Round Wheel Mod fit?

MOZA lists the ES, ES Lite and ESX steering wheels, the wheels supplied with the R3 and R5 bundles. It does not fit other MOZA wheels.

How big and heavy is the rim?

It is 12 inches (305 mm), 25 mm larger than the stock ES rim. Apex Sim Racing lists about 850 g for the rim, or 1.4 kg with the button box.

Does the round rim help with drifting?

Buyers say yes: the round shape makes countersteering smoother and the extra size adds inertia that feels natural for drift and rally. One buyer bought it specifically to replace the D-shaped R5 bundle rim.

Are there build quality issues?

Buyers rate it 4.96/5 on Apex Sim Racing and describe premium materials. One reports some flex at the top center strip.

12-inch Round Wheel Mod or Formula Wheel Mod?

The 12-inch round rim suits drift, rally and road driving. The 280 mm Formula Wheel Mod is lighter and suits formula and GT racing, especially on low-torque bases like the R3 and R5.

Do I need to change software settings after installing?

The mod has no electronics, but a larger rim changes leverage, so you may want to adjust force feedback strength and steering angle in MOZA Pit House or in-game.

What warranty does the mod have?

MOZA's store lists up to 24 months of warranty protection and a 14-day return policy.

Is the 12-inch Round Wheel Mod worth $59?
