They also allow about 1/4" of forward/backward play in the wheel. The play is under a spring load, but it is still somewhat unsettling when driving hard and the wheel moves on you.
I have the thinnest NRG and the release mechanism rubs on the rubber of the momo hub where it folds over the lip (hard to describe, makes sense when you look at it). If you trim the rubber, it works a lot better, but it isn’t perfectly smooth. It works for me though! I use it primarily as a theft deterrent, and to switch between a 370 prototipo I use for around town and casual driving, and a 350 veloce that is better suited to track days and spirited driving, so I’m using it a lot and it doesn’t bother me.
