SiMedaL X-GT Wheel Review – Audi R8 / Huracán GT3 Replica

The SiMedaL X-GT is quickly establishing itself as one of the top Audi R8 / Lamborghini Huracán GT3 replica wheels available today. What sets it apart is its concave profile, which closely mirrors the real-world wheel geometry. That added realism comes with a bit more complexity and cost, but the result is a wheel that both looks and feels far more authentic than most competitors.

Design & Build Quality

Right out of the box, the X-GT feels solid and well-engineered.

• Construction: Front and rear housings are made from lightweight aluminum, giving the wheel a rigid, premium feel
• Buttons: Tactile and responsive, with consistent feedback whether you’re driving with gloves or bare hands
• Grips: Hard rubber core wrapped in suede, offering a comfortable and secure hold during long sessions

Overall, the materials and fitment reflect a high level of attention to detail, especially for a newer brand.

Installation & Setup

Installation is straightforward, with a few minor challenges:

• I used an official Simagic 70mm quick release (QR) for this setup
• The QR mounts to an aluminum plate, which is then secured to the wheel using three Allen bolts
• The most delicate part of the install is connecting the internal wiring from the QR to the wheel—small connectors and tight access require a bit of patience

Once installed, pairing the wheel to the base via wireless connection was seamless, and everything worked as expected.

Final Thoughts

SiMedaL may be a relatively new player in the sim racing space, but the X-GT shows they’re serious about quality and realism. The concave design alone makes it stand out, and when combined with solid construction and great tactile feedback, it becomes a compelling option for GT3 enthusiasts.

If you’re looking for a high-end replica wheel that prioritizes authenticity, the X-GT is definitely worth considering.
