I'm pretty sure the NRG is the replica of the Works Bell

I'm using a Snap Off R100B, it's a Swedish brand that's pretty much motorsport standard around here but I'm guessing they might be pretty known in the rest of the world as well.
Decent price and great quality SnapOff.com | Steering Wheel Quick Release

NRG is a replica of works bell, there was a post about it on a 350Z forum

OK OK, I bought a replica.

King Tut

It's like buying a Rota. Which is apparently the BEST replica.

I have the Momo Hub and Sparco quick release (which is made by Lifeline) with a Sparco R383.
Zero slack in the quick release which is a must.
First one I had, had a bit of slack. Returned and exchanged, no questions asked!

Works great, and spaces out the wheel like I needed since the OEM wheel is not adjustable.

So I have to ask.. What's the reason so many people go with QR hubs these days? If you spend some serious time at the track I understand the desire to be able to quickly escape should you need to, but what about the casual hpde'rs and street cars, bling?

Either you go all out on safety or you stay stock, from everything I've heard. That doesn't just include roll bar, seats, and 5/6 point harness, but if you do that you'll also want to remove your oem wheel because it has an airbag. I actually like the OEM steering wheel and wouldn't recommend changing it if you're still got stock seatbelts.

I'm not hear to debate safety equipment, I'm just asking why people opt for the QR vs non-QR steering wheels. I get the safety reason for a QR steering wheel for people who frequent the track (heck, sometimes you practically need to remove the wheel to get in the seat, much less need to escape the car in a wreck), but let's be honest, that's the minority of people here. So what's the rationale, bling? I'm primarily just an HPDE'er, and even if I did TTs, I'm not sure it'd necessarily warrant a QR hub.

Bling factor. Weight savings.
