Latest AliExpress rim got in today. Of my larger round rims: top left is the Momo GT320 320mm rim, top right is the new Simulated Racing 13” rim, bottom left is the RogueRacing Designs 13” rim, bottom right is the SimPush 13” rim. Right side is direct from AliExpress.
The Momo costs 230 bucks. The RogueRacing varies, mine ended up being north of 200. The Simulated Racing runs about 120-140 after shipping. The SimPush runs about 100 after shipping.
Size-wise, the Momo is actually 320mm while the SimPush and Simulated Racing rims are both true 13” rims measuring out to 330mm. The RogueRacing measures closer to 13.25” or roughly 336mm.
The new Simulated Racing rim is very light which means force feedback goes through it very effectively compared to the RogueRacing rim. It is the second third party manufacturer that I know of that utilizes rhe three rear screws as well for added rigidity and less flex. Ergonomically it’s OK. It’s not the best, but not the worst either. The grips are on the thinner side which I prefer. Size-wise it’s closer to the Momo in terms of grip size but lacks the ergonomics the Momo offers. It’s nowhere near as bad as the SimPush is. It doesn’t flex like the Momo either which is good. Value for money it’s probably the best of the bunch here.
I’m not sure if this is lighter than the Momo, but they’re both very light. The SimPush and RogueRacing tend to be heavier. Ergonomics Momo > RogueRacing > Simulated Racing >>> SimPush. Size RogueRacing > Simulated Racing = SimPush > Momo. Grip size RogueRacing >= SimPush > Momo > Simulated Racing.
Personally I prefer the size of the RogueRacing and ergonomics of the Momo. But the thinner grips of this one do suit me better than the RogueRacing.
