DAMD | Premium Performance Steering Wheels
The ultimate tactile upgrade for Australia's premier performance platforms. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for DAMD, the Japanese masters of ergonomic interior refinement. Designed to replace the factory rim while retaining all safety features, DAMD steering wheels offer a sportier, smaller-diameter grip for a more connected driving experience. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for the R35 GTR, Mazda MX-5 ND, and Subaru WRX/STI.
Platform-Specific Refinement & Ergonomics
A DAMD steering wheel is more than just a styling choice; it is a functional tool designed to improve steering speed and driver feedback. By utilizing high-grade European leather and authentic Ultrasuede, DAMD ensures maximum grip even in high-pressure track environments. Crucially, these wheels are engineered to house your original airbag and factory steering wheel controls, ensuring your car remains as safe and functional as it was from the showroom floor.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the core DAMD range for our local enthusiasts:
• Nissan R35 GTR: A sophisticated D-shaped upgrade that complements the GTR’s high-tech cockpit with premium leather and carbon accents.
• Mazda MX-5 (ND): Featuring a smaller diameter to create more legroom in the tight ND cabin while sharpening the car's legendary steering response.
• Subaru WRX / STI (VA & VB): The "SS" series wheels provide a thicker, more contoured grip that is a significant step up from the factory Subaru plastic or leather rims.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical support required to ensure you select the correct wheel for your specific model year and trim level. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic Japanese DAMD hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
DAMD Performance FAQ
Is a DAMD steering wheel a direct replacement?
Yes. DAMD wheels are "core-replacement" units. You simply transfer your factory airbag, plastic trim pieces, and steering wheel buttons (audio, cruise control, etc.) over to the new DAMD frame. This maintains 100% of your car's original functionality and safety protocols.
Why choose a D-shaped wheel for an MX-5 ND?
In the Mazda MX-5 ND, cabin space is at a premium. The DAMD D-shaped wheel provides much-needed extra clearance for the driver's legs, making heel-and-toe downshifts easier and improving the ergonomics for taller drivers without moving away from the factory steering column.
How quickly can you source DAMD parts?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround for authentic Japanese parts. Most DAMD Performance Steering Wheels for GTR, MX-5, and WRX are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery across Australia.
