There are various types of racing wheels designed for different types of racing vehicles and disciplines. Here are some common types:
Formula-style Wheels: These are specialized wheels designed for open-wheel racing, such as Formula 1 and Formula E. They typically have a flat top with a lot of buttons and controls integrated into the steering wheel itself.
GT/ Sports Car Wheels: These wheels are commonly used in GT racing, endurance racing, and sports car championships. They often have a round shape with a slightly larger diameter compared to formula-style wheels. They may also have buttons and controls, but typically not as many as the Formula-style wheels.
Rally Wheels: These wheels are designed for off-road racing disciplines like rally racing. They are usually sturdy and built to withstand rough terrains. Rally wheels often have thicker rims to protect against impacts and may incorporate features like a reinforced center and protective tire sidewalls.
Touring Car Wheels: Touring car wheels are used in various touring car championships and have a design suitable for high-speed track racing. They are typically similar to GT/sports car wheels, but with slight variations to meet the specific requirements of touring car regulations.
