MOZA ES
The rim that ships with MOZA bundles. Owners point out the six bolt pattern lets you swap in third party rims later.
“Can we take a second to appreciate how moza uses a six bolt star pattern leading to us being able to easily use custom wheels”Verified owner comment
The drawback7 owners raised feel, the most here, from mushy buttons to the rim feeling a bit small. Several swapped to the 12 inch or formula mod.
What to Check Before You Buy
- Quick release first. A rim has to match your base. MOZA, Fanatec and Simagic use different systems. Adapters exist
- Size. Feel was 21% of problems. Owners who found the stock MOZA ES small moved to a larger rim
- Grips at high force. Grip comfort came up on the GT Neo once owners turned the force up
