The DAS SPEED 50 mm Steering Wheel was designed with one simple goal: to connect you more directly to your car. Every material choice is engineered to eliminate the lag, slippage, and ambiguity that come from traditional foam/silicone/aluminium-covered wheels — giving you pure precision and control.
The 50 mm version maintains the same ultra-direct DAS SPEED steering philosophy, while offering a slightly larger diameter for smoother steering modulation and a more progressive feel in hand.
Traditional foam steering wheels have a few hidden problems that most drivers don’t realize:
Foam compresses and can rotate slightly around the rim, especially when your fingers sweat or apply uneven pressure.
To compensate for slippage, drivers squeeze harder, which causes fatigue and reduces sensitivity.
Foam adds “give” between your fingers and the car’s response, blurring the line between what you do and what the car does.
When force is applied to foam, the material compresses and distorts. That deformation absorbs steering feel and reduces precision before your input even reaches the car.
Larger steering wheels traditionally became popular because they naturally smooth out steering inputs and make modulation easier. The DAS SPEED 50 mm wheel achieves that smoother feel — without relying on soft foam or vague feedback.
You gain the advantages of a larger diameter while retaining the directness, consistency, and locked-in feel DAS SPEED wheels are known for.
All those issues disappear the moment you drive with the DAS SPEED steering wheel.
Once you try it, you’ll never go back.
