Step-by-step instructions to install and adjust the PRO Racing GT D Rim for a secure, comfortable sim racing setup, with common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Install the PRO Racing GT D Rim by aligning it with the wheel base, tightening the quick-release mechanism, and then adjusting the rim angle and button layout to your driving style. Check the connection is secure before each race.

Why the D-Shape Matters for Your Setup

The D-shaped rim design of the PRO Racing GT D Rim is not just for looks. It provides enhanced legroom and allows quicker wheel manipulation during intense races. This is especially useful for GT-style driving where you need to make rapid corrections without hitting your knees.

When you adjust the rim, keep in mind that the flat bottom gives you extra clearance. Position the wheel so that the flat section is at the bottom, giving you more room for your legs and making it easier to reach the pedals.

Compatibility and Setup Considerations

This rim is engineered for compatibility with Logitech PRO Racing wheel bases. Before you start, make sure your wheel base is powered off and that you have a clean, stable workspace. The mounting process is straightforward, but taking your time ensures a secure fit.

If you plan to use the rim with gloves, consider the grip and button reach. The black finish complements most racing cockpits, but the practical benefit is that it hides wear from frequent use.

Installation and Adjustment Steps

Prepare the wheel base: Power off the wheel base and remove any existing rim or accessories. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the wheel base is completely off to avoid accidental activation.
Align the rim: Position the PRO Racing GT D Rim so the mounting holes align with the wheel base's quick-release mechanism. The D-shape should be oriented with the flat bottom facing down. Misalignment is common; double-check the orientation before tightening.
Secure the rim: Tighten the quick-release mechanism or mounting screws evenly, alternating between points to ensure even pressure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads or damage the rim. A common mistake is overtightening; use firm but gentle pressure.
Adjust the rim angle: If your wheel base allows tilt adjustment, set the rim angle to your preferred driving position. Typically, a slight downward tilt toward your lap feels natural for GT racing. Test different angles to find what feels comfortable for long sessions.
Map the buttons: Power on the wheel base and use the associated software to map the rim's buttons to your preferred functions, such as clutch, DRS, or look behind. Save your button layout as a profile so you can quickly switch between games.
Test the setup: Run a short practice session to ensure the rim is secure and the buttons respond correctly. Listen for any rattling or movement during hard turns. If you feel any play, tighten the mechanism again before racing.
