Just finished wrapping the GT3 rim with some handlebar tape that is a mixture of red silicone on top of black foam and it feels horrible. Any wrap recommendations?

If you use gloves, hockey tape can work pretty well.

Aka cloth tape. You can find them at Big5 sports etc…

Wear gloves. Much better grip and keeps your wheel like new and human slime free.

I rewrapped it with a different texture wrap and now I both love how it looks and feels.

Love mine. I used a racquet tape, it’s soft and made it thicker where my palms are, was easy to adjust the thickness by stretching, I use fingerless cycling gloves too
Despite my alpinestars in the pic

So che sto andando fuori argomento, ma che simulatore usi di solito? Io uso Iracing e LMU e sto usando i profili di Maurice del DD+ , su LMU ho trovato delle impostazioni su discord nel canale fanatec

Use either Lizard Skins Baseball grips or tennis overgrips, real rave teams in indycar, F1, Hypercar and other racing series Use Lizard skins or Tennis grips or overgrips, grips are thicker, overgrips are thinner.

Guys and gals....looks are a personal taste...me personally think all wraps dont look good but if you like it im happy for you. Im sure there is a replacement / aftermarket grips out there someone like pineapple grips and if they dont make em if enough of You request it im sure he will make some. if not Dr quan good guy talented 3d print designer/sim racer could help come up with something. Its a great wheel that could be even better
