Modular, Flexible, and Customizable

The Q1R system is sold in individual components to suit multi-wheel setups. Choose one base-side unit to mount to your wheelbase, then add as many 70mm or 50mm wheel-side adapters as needed. This allows for seamless switching between different wheel types depending on the racing discipline.

• 70mm PCD compatibility for both wheel and base sides
• Mix-and-match wheel sides for GT, Formula, rally wheels, etc.
