MOZA Formula Wheel Mod for ES, ES Lite & ESX

280 mm formula-style aluminum rim for the ES, ES Lite and ESX wheels

Description

The MOZA Formula Wheel Mod converts the MOZA ES, ES Lite and ESX steering wheels into a 280 mm formula-style wheel.

Build. The rim is aviation-grade aluminum with ergonomic rubber grips. One buyer estimates it is about 220 g lighter than the stock rim, which helps lower-torque bases feel more responsive.

Use. The wheel's buttons and electronics stay in place, so platform support follows the ES or ESX wheel it is fitted to. It targets R3 and R5 owners who race formula, GT3 and supercar classes.

Driving style

The Formula Wheel Mod suits R3 and R5 owners who race F1, open-wheel and GT3 cars in F1 25, iRacing, ACC or Forza Motorsport and want a formula-style grip. A buyer calls it one of the best mods for the R5 and especially the R3 because the lighter rim helps low-torque bases.

Best for formula and GT racers on ES-based wheels; less suited for drift, rally and truck driving, where the 12-inch Round Wheel Mod fits better.

Build quality

Entry-level build

An aviation-grade aluminum rim with rubber grips that bolts onto the ES/ESX center. Buyers say it feels good and grips better than stock, though one wants more usable buttons.

Software

The mod has no electronics. Buttons and paddles stay on the ES/ESX wheel and work through the MOZA base. Adjust steering angle and force feedback in MOZA Pit House or in-game after the swap.

Frequently asked questions

Which wheels does the Formula Wheel Mod fit?

MOZA lists the ES, ES Lite and ESX steering wheels, the wheels included with the R3 and R5 bundles.

Does the Formula Wheel Mod improve feel on an R3 or R5?

One buyer estimates it is about 220 g (16.5%) lighter than the stock rim and reports smoother feedback, recommending it for lower-torque bases like the R3 and R5. This weight figure is a user estimate, not a MOZA spec.

Does it add buttons?

No. It only replaces the rim; the buttons remain those of the ES or ESX wheel. One buyer wishes it had more usable buttons, especially on the Xbox version.

Formula Wheel Mod or 12-inch Round Wheel Mod?

The 280 mm formula rim is lighter and suits formula, GT3 and supercar racing. The 305 mm round rim suits drifting, rally and road driving.

Do I need to change settings after fitting it?

The mod has no electronics. A smaller, lighter rim changes how force feedback feels, so revisit FFB 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 Formula Wheel Mod worth $39?

For R3 and R5 owners who race formula or GT cars, it is a cheap way to change wheel shape and reduce rim weight.
