Thrustmaster wheel compatibility: a screw base, a latch base, and six names for the newer one
A Thrustmaster rim attaches one of two ways, and the cleanest statement of it is a box list. The Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel Add-On ships two parts, “1x quick release holder for screw base” and “1x quick release holder for latch base”, and you fit whichever matches the base you own. Screw is the older T-Series fitting, tightened with a hex key. Latch is what the T818 introduced and the T598 uses. Every compatibility question in Thrustmaster’s range comes back to which of those two a rim carries, and to the fact that Thrustmaster names the second one six different ways.
Every quotation, count, and price below was read on Thrustmaster’s own properties on 2 August 2026, apart from the rim census under “Which rim ships which” and the Hypercar Wheel Add-On and GT Wheel Add-On wordings under “Six Thrustmaster names for the latch fitting”, which were read on 3 August 2026 and carry their own dates in place.
Thrustmaster names the two fittings in its box lists, and three ways at that
Section titled “Thrustmaster names the two fittings in its box lists, and three ways at that”Four products ship both holders, and none of the four words the pair the same way.
| Product | Box lines for the two holders |
|---|---|
| Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel Add-On | ”1x quick release holder for screw base” / “1x quick release holder for latch base” |
| EVO Racing Hub | ”1 x Quick release holder for screw base” / “1 x Quick release holder for latch base” |
| EVO Racing 31U Leather | ”1 x screw-type Quick Release holder” / “1 x latch-type Quick Release holder” |
| EVO Racing 32R Leather | ”1 x Quick release holder for base with screw” / “1 x Quick release holder for base with latch” |
Only one page explains the pair. The Ferrari 488 GT3 heads its section “BACKWARD AND NEXT-GEN COMPATIBILITY” and says the rim “is natively compatible with all Thrustmaster racing wheel bases, thanks to the two Quick Release holders allowing users to select the attachment compatible with their racing wheel base without the need for an additional adapter.” That sentence is the mechanism for the whole range: the base decides which holder you fit, and a rim that ships one holder fits one kind of base.
Six Thrustmaster names for the latch fitting, and no T598 page uses any of them
Section titled “Six Thrustmaster names for the latch fitting, and no T598 page uses any of them”The same attachment is introduced under a different name on nearly every page that introduces it.
| Where | What Thrustmaster calls it |
|---|---|
| T818 product page | ”T818 ushers in the new “Fast Release” wheel attachment system” |
| T818 Ferrari SF1000 Simulator | ”T818 ushers in the new “Quick Release” wheel attachment system” |
| T818 Black Edition | ”AERONAUTICAL-GRADE QUICK RELEASE” |
| GT Wheel Add-On | ”the new next-gen Quick Release standard” |
| Quick Release Upgrade | ”the new Direct Drive quick release standard” |
| Quick Release Upgrade, US eshop | ”Thrustmaster’s new quick attachment system” |
The first two rows open on the same clause, “T818 ushers in the new”, and differ on the name inside the quotation marks that follows. Both are Thrustmaster’s, and both are about the same base. Rows one and three are that base too: /en-us/products/t818/ redirects a US visitor to the Black Edition listing, where the string “Fast Release” returns zero hits and the feature heading reads “AERONAUTICAL-GRADE QUICK RELEASE” instead.
The fourth row is the GT Wheel Add-On alone. The Hypercar Wheel Add-On words the same fitting differently, calling it “the next-gen Quick Release system”, and “Quick Release standard” returns zero hits across its two product pages and its US eshop listing, while “Quick Release system” returns zero on the GT Wheel Add-On’s page. Both counted case-insensitively on 3 August 2026. That is not a seventh name: “next-gen Quick Release” is the name on both rims and the noun after it is what differs.
The T598 names none of them. Searching all three T598 listings, the bundle for PlayStation and PC, the bundle for Xbox and PC, and the T598 Servo Base, “Fast Release” and “next-gen Quick Release” return zero hits each, counted case-insensitively across each whole document, and every occurrence of “Quick Release” is an accessory tile in the configurator rather than a sentence. Each page does carry “next-gen” twice, and both are inside “next-generation” describing the motor rather than the attachment: “Direct Axial Drive is the next-generation Direct Drive motor for simracing”, under a heading reading “NEXT-GENERATION SENSATIONS”. What a T598 page does say about attaching a rim is one footnote: “*Some Wheel Add-On models may require an adapter. Compatibility list available on the Thrustmaster website.” It names no adapter, no rim, and no list, and it does not link one.
The two bundle pages and the Servo Base do not even claim the same thing above that footnote. The bundles say the Sportcar rim “can be replaced by one of the many existing* and future Thrustmaster Wheel Add-On models in Formula, GT and rally styles.” The Servo Base says “T598 Servo Base is compatible with all Thrustmaster Wheel Add-On models*”, and sends its asterisk to the “Thrustmaster support website” where the bundles send theirs to the “Thrustmaster website.”
Which base takes which, from four different Thrustmaster lists
Section titled “Which base takes which, from four different Thrustmaster lists”Thrustmaster publishes no page listing its bases by fitting. What it publishes is a compatibility sentence on each older rim, and the four sentences name four different sets.
| Rim page | The bases it names |
|---|---|
| Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco R383 Mod | T500 RS, T300 RS, T300 Ferrari GTE, T300 Ferrari Integral Racing Wheel Alcantra Edition, T300 RS Edition, TX Racing Wheel Ferrari Ferrari 458 Italia Edition, TX Racing Wheel Leather Edition, TS-XW Racer Sparco P310 Competition Mod, TS-PC Racer, T-GT |
| Ferrari 250 GTO Wheel Add-On | ”TS-PC Racer*, TS-XW Racer*, T-GT*, T500 RS**, T300 series*, TX series*“ |
| TM Competition Sparco P310 Mod, TM Open Wheel Add-On | ”TX and T300 servo bases, T-GT, TS-XW and even TS-PC Racer (sold separately)“ |
| Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition | ”the TS-PC, T-GT, TS-XW Servo Base, TX Racing Wheel Servo Base and T300 Racing Wheel Servo Base bases” |
The R383’s ten names are Thrustmaster’s own strings, doubled “Ferrari Ferrari” and misspelled “Alcantra” included. The 250 GTO’s double asterisk resolves to a constraint: ”** A firmware update is required for the T500 RS wheel”.
Two rims claim every base and then list five. The P310 Mod and the TM Open Wheel each carry the key-feature line “Compatible with all Thrustmaster bases” over a paragraph naming the five T-Series servo bases and no direct-drive base at all. Both rims appear on the Quick Release Adapter’s compatibility document, which is Thrustmaster stating in a second place that they need a part to reach a T818 or a T598.
One rim page names both generations at once. The Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition is the only rim listing that puts the older bases and the two direct-drive bases in one sentence: “Featuring the Quick Release system, this wheel has been developed to be compatible with all Thrustmaster racing wheel bases. It is compatible on PS5, PS4 and PC with the TS-PC, T-GT, TS-XW Servo Base, TX Racing Wheel Servo Base and T300 Racing Wheel Servo Base bases, as well as with the T598 and T818 bases via Quick Release Upgrade SF1000 and Quick Release Adapter (sold separately).” That sentence is on the locale-less path. The US and Canada listing for the same rim drops it and says only “ECOSYSTEM READY / With Thrustmaster T-Series bases”.
The T818 boxes carry a bridge and the T598 boxes do not. All four T818 listings, the T818, the Black Edition, the T818 EVO 32R, and the T818 Ferrari SF1000 Simulator, put “1 x Quick Release Adapter kit (adapter, nut, screw)” in the box, and the Black Edition footnotes why: “*1 Quick Release Adapter is included for older generation wheel rims”. The T598’s eleven-item box list holds a base, a rim, pedals, cables, a clamping system, carpet grips, a power supply, and a Torx wrench, and no quick release of any kind.
Which rim ships which, counted across the 19 in the US catalog
Section titled “Which rim ships which, counted across the 19 in the US catalog”Thrustmaster’s US racing catalog printed “78 Products” on 2 August 2026 and served 78 product cards, matching that count. (The site navigation’s own counter beside it reads “Racing (77)”.) Nineteen of the 78 are a wheel rim or a hub. Three of those 19 are EVO Wheel Rims that bolt to the EVO Racing Hub on a “2.3-inch / 58-mm PCD [Pitch Circle Diameter]” rather than to a base, leaving 16 that attach to a base. Reading each of the 16 listings for what its own page says about the attachment:
- 5 name the older Thrustmaster Quick Release only. The 599XX EVO 30 Wheel Add-On Alcantara Edition and the TM Leather 28 GT Wheel Add-On both read “Detachable wheel featuring the Thrustmaster Quick Release system”; the Ferrari 250 GTO and Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-Ons credit “the Thrustmaster Quick Release system”; the Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco R383 Mod credits “the Thrustmaster Quick Release mechanism”.
- 4 ship both holders. The Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel Add-On, EVO Racing Hub, EVO Racing 31U Leather, and EVO Racing 32R Leather, per the four box lists in the first table.
- 3 name the newer fitting only. The GT Wheel Add-On, the Hypercar Wheel Add-On, and the Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF-25 Edition. The Hypercar’s line is the plainest: it “is equipped with the next-gen Quick Release system and is natively compatible with T818, T598 and all future Thrustmaster racing wheel bases”.
- 4 name no quick release at all. The TM Competition Wheel Add-On Sparco P310 Mod and the TM Open Wheel Add-On both list “1 detachable wheel for compatible Thrustmaster racing wheel bases” and never say which fitting that is. The Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition is the third on its US and Canada listing, whose box holds “4 x attachment screws” and whose features say “With Thrustmaster T-Series bases”. The Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition is the fourth and the most complete silence of the four: “quick release” returns zero hits in the markup of both its product pages, its US eshop listing, and its support page, and neither of its two box lists holds a holder, an adapter, or an attachment part. What its support page prints instead is a restriction, “Only compatible with:” over ”- T818 on PC”, ”- T598-P on PlayStation® & PC”, and ”- T598-X on Xbox & PC”, which is the only place Thrustmaster writes “T598-P” for any product. Read 3 August 2026.
The 499P is the one listing added to this census after it was first taken. Thrustmaster’s own page metadata dates it before the count: both its product pages carry "datePublished":"2026-06-11T14:37:53+00:00", and every 499-named image on the US page sits under a wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ path. So it was in the 78 on 2 August and the first reading of this section counted 18 rather than 19. The catalog still serves 78 product cards on 3 August 2026, and the corrected 19 are the 18 listed in the sources below plus the Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition.
One of the three next-gen listings argues with itself. The GT Wheel Add-On opens “GT Wheel Add-On, the official Gran Turismo wheel rim and successor to the T-GT, is now natively compatible with the T818 and T598 Direct Drive racing wheel bases” and repeats it under the heading “NEXT-GEN VERSION OF AN ICON”: it “has been upgraded with the new next-gen Quick Release standard. It now offers native compatibility with the Thrustmaster T818 and T598 Direct Drive racing wheel bases, without an adapter”. Further down, under a heading reading “COMPLETE PLAYSTATION INTERFACE”, the body is the EVO Racing 32R Leather’s paragraph pasted whole, naming the wrong product: “two Quick Release holders are included, making EVO Racing 32R Leather compatible with all existing and future Thrustmaster Force Feedback racing wheel bases”. Its own box contents are three lines, “1 x GT Wheel Add-On”, “1 x Racing flyer”, and “1 x warranty information flyer”, with no holders among them.
The three conversion parts, and what each costs
Section titled “The three conversion parts, and what each costs”| Part | SKU | US price | What it does, in Thrustmaster’s words |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick Release Adapter | 4060237 | $54.99 | ”Equip your Thrustmaster steering wheels with the Quick Release Adapter to make them compatible with the T818 base” |
| Quick Release Upgrade | 4060325 | $44.99 | ”Natively convert your Thrustmaster wheel rim to the new Direct Drive quick release standard” |
| Quick Release Upgrade SF1000 | 4060390 | $54.99 | ”Quick Release natively compatible with T818, T598” |
Prices are the itemprop="price" value on each part’s US eshop listing, matching the figure printed on the page and the figure Thrustmaster’s own US configurator prints for the same part on the T598 and T818 Black Edition listings. None of the three carried a strike-through or sale price. The SKUs match the “Product number” on each part’s support page.
The gap between the two general parts is $10.00. The Adapter is $10.00 more than the Upgrade and buys the ability to take it off again. Thrustmaster’s own comparison document captions them side by side, “BEST FFB TRANSMISSION · DEFINITIVE UPGRADE · NO EXTENSION” under the Upgrade against “ALL THRUSTMASTER WHEELS COMPATIBILITY · REMOVABLE · TOOLLESS ASSEMBLY” under the Adapter. That document carries no extractable text, so both captions were read off the rendered page.
The Upgrade is permanent and the Adapter is not. The Upgrade’s box holds “1 x Quick Release Upgrade (and its cable)”, a second cable, “3 x screws”, and a Torx key, and Thrustmaster describes fitting it as replacing “your Thrustmaster wheel rim’s old attachment system”. The Adapter’s key features instead read “No need for tools anymore” and “New steering wheel quick-release system”, and the T818 box calls it “Quick Release Adapter kit (adapter, nut, screw)”.
The SF1000 rim is the one exception in both directions. The standard Upgrade’s product page ends its compatible-rim list with “Warning : the Quick Release Upgrade is not compatible with the Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition”, and the SF1000 version exists for it alone: “Quick Release Upgrade SF1000 is only compatible with the Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition wheel rim.” Thrustmaster times the job at “TAKES JUST 30 MINUTES TO INSTALL” and flags it: “IMPORTANT NOTE: Certain steps require particular attention, to avoid damaging your wheel rim.”
One price disagrees across Thrustmaster’s own paths. The locale-less /products/t818/ configurator prices the Quick Release Upgrade SF1000 at $49.99, prints no price for the Quick Release Adapter, and offers no Quick Release Upgrade tile at all. The three US-locale surfaces agree on $54.99, $44.99, and $54.99, and those are the figures above.
Three lists of what the Upgrade fits, and no two are the same list
Section titled “Three lists of what the Upgrade fits, and no two are the same list”Whether a given rim takes the $44.99 Upgrade or needs the $54.99 Adapter has three Thrustmaster answers, and they do not agree. Each is quoted where it was read, and none is merged into another.
The Upgrade’s product page names 10 rims. In its own order and capitalization: TM LEATHER 28 GT WHEEL ADD-ON, TM OPEN WHEEL, FERRARI GTE WHEEL ADD-ON FERRARI 458 CHALLENGE EDITION, 599XX EVO 30 WHEEL ADD-ON ALCANTARA EDITION, RALLY WHEEL ADD-ON SPARCO R383 MOD, TM COMPETITION WHEEL ADD-ON SPARCO P310 MOD, FERRARI 488 CHALLENGE WHEEL, T500 RS WHEEL, TX RACING WHEEL LEATHER, T300 FERRARI ALCANTARA WHEEL.
Thrustmaster’s support site names 8, under a warning. “The Quick Release Upgrade is only compatible with the following steering wheels:” then TM Leather 28 GT Wheel Add-On, Ferrari GTE Wheel Add-On Ferrari 458 Challenge Edition, 599XX EVO 30 Wheel Add-On Alcantara Edition, T500 RS, Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco® R383 Mod, TM COMPETITION WHEEL Add-On Sparco® P310 Mod, TS-PC Racer Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition, TM Open Wheel Add-On. It closes: “Please use the Quick Release Adapter with all steering wheels not listed above.”
The Adapter’s own compatibility document names 15. A PDF headed “QUICK RELEASE ADAPTER WHEEL ADD-ON COMPATIBILITY”, reached from the support page Thrustmaster titles “T818 Quick release adapter”: Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition, TM Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco R383 Mod, TM Competition Wheel Add-On Sparco P310 Mod, 599XX EVO 30 Wheel Add-On Alcantara Edition, TM Leather 28 GT Wheel Add-On, Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On, TM Open Wheel Add-On, Ferrari GTE Wheel Add-On Ferrari 458 Challenge Edition, Ferrari 250 GTO Wheel Add-On, TX Racing Wheel Leather Edition, T-GT & T-GT II Wheel, T300 RS Wheel, T300 RS GT Wheel, T500 Wheel, TX 458 Italia Wheel.
Where the three come apart
Section titled “Where the three come apart”Two rims are on the Upgrade’s product page and off its support warning. The TX Racing Wheel Leather and the T300 Ferrari Alcantara Wheel. By the product page an owner of either buys the $44.99 Upgrade; by the support warning’s closing line the same owner buys the $54.99 Adapter instead, which is the reading the Adapter’s own 15-rim document backs for the TX Racing Wheel Leather Edition. Nothing on Thrustmaster’s site reconciles them, and the reconciliation is not this site’s to make.
One product changes what it is between the two lists. The product page names “FERRARI 488 CHALLENGE WHEEL”, a rim. The support warning names “TS-PC Racer Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition”, a complete racing wheel with a base under it. Neither appears on the Adapter document.
One rim carries three Thrustmaster names. “T500 RS WHEEL” on the Upgrade’s product page, “T500 RS” on the support warning, “T500 Wheel” on the Adapter document.
Six rims are on all three surfaces, in one wording or another, so both parts are named as fitting each of them: the TM Leather 28 GT, the TM Open Wheel, the Ferrari GTE 458 Challenge Edition, the 599XX EVO 30 Alcantara Edition, the Sparco R383 Mod, and the Sparco P310 Mod.
The T598 is named on one Upgrade surface and not the other. Thrustmaster’s US eshop listing for SKU 4060325 reads “Natively convert your Thrustmaster wheel rim to the new Direct Drive quick release standard, so that it’s compatible with T818, T598 and future Thrustmaster bases.” The product page for the same part reads “Natively convert your Thrustmaster wheel rim to the new Direct Drive quick release standard, so that it’s compatible with T818 and future Thrustmaster bases.” The two read identically apart from the apostrophe glyph and one inserted name, and the name is the base a T598 owner would be buying the part for. The product page’s configurator does offer a T598 tile, and the SF1000 version of the part names the T598 in prose on both surfaces.
What to check before you order
Section titled “What to check before you order”On the base. Whether it latches or screws. Thrustmaster states this nowhere in one place, so read it off the rim pages: T818 and T598 are the two bases its next-gen rims name, and the five T-Series servo bases (TX, T300, T-GT, TS-XW, TS-PC) are the ones its older rims name.
On the rim. Whether its own listing names a fitting at all. Four of the 16 do not, and for three of those the two compatibility lists are the only answer. The fourth, the Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition, is on none of the three lists above by name, and “499” returns zero hits on the Quick Release Upgrade’s support page and only prices and CSS page ids on its product page, read 3 August 2026. Its own support page names the two bases it works with instead.
Then which part. If the rim is on the Adapter’s 15-name document you can reach a T818 or T598 for $54.99 without modifying it. If it is on both the Upgrade’s product page and the support warning you can do it for $44.99 permanently instead. If it is on one Upgrade list and not the other, the two Thrustmaster pages disagree and the Adapter is the answer that both of them allow.
If it is the SF1000. Its own $54.99 part, and only that one. The standard Upgrade rules it out by name.
The one Thrustmaster product that ends the version question by shipping both holders and taking rims of its own is the EVO Racing Hub, reviewed with the three EVO Wheel Rims that bolt to it and the two complete EVO Racing wheels that contain it.
The cross-brand version of all of this, including which rims bolt to which adapters and where the button data stops, is in wheel rims and quick-releases. For the other three manufacturers with a guide of their own here, see the Fanatec QR2 guide, the Simagic QR guide, and the Simucube Link guide. For the base itself, see the Thrustmaster T598 review and wheelbases.

Frequently asked questions
Will my old Thrustmaster wheel fit a T818 or a T598?
Only with a part. Thrustmaster sells two: the $54.99 Quick Release Adapter, which clamps on and comes off again, and the $44.99 Quick Release Upgrade, which is screwed into the rim permanently. The Adapter's own compatibility document names 15 rims, the Upgrade's product page names 10, and Thrustmaster's support site names 8 for the same Upgrade. Prices read on Thrustmaster's US eshop and its US product pages on 2 August 2026.
What is the difference between the Quick Release Adapter and the Quick Release Upgrade?
Thrustmaster's own compatibility graphic sets them side by side and captions the Upgrade "BEST FFB TRANSMISSION · DEFINITIVE UPGRADE · NO EXTENSION" against the Adapter's "ALL THRUSTMASTER WHEELS COMPATIBILITY · REMOVABLE · TOOLLESS ASSEMBLY". The Adapter adds length between base and rim and unclips; the Upgrade replaces the rim's old attachment with three screws and a Torx key and does not.
Does the T598 use the same quick release as the T818?
Thrustmaster's rim pages say so and its T598 pages never say anything. Two rims say it, each in its own words: the Hypercar Wheel Add-On is "natively compatible with T818, T598 and all future Thrustmaster racing wheel bases" off one next-gen fitting, and the GT Wheel Add-On "now offers native compatibility with the Thrustmaster T818 and T598 Direct Drive racing wheel bases, without an adapter". The comma-separated "T818, T598" is the Hypercar's alone and returns zero hits on the GT Wheel Add-On's page; both re-read 3 August 2026. No T598 listing names a quick release at all: the closest is a footnote reading "*Some Wheel Add-On models may require an adapter. Compatibility list available on the Thrustmaster website.", which names no adapter, no rim, and no list.
Which Thrustmaster rims work on a T818 or T598 with no extra part?
Seven of the 16 rims in Thrustmaster's US catalog that attach to a base. Three carry the newer fitting only: the GT Wheel Add-On, the Hypercar Wheel Add-On, and the Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF-25 Edition. Four ship both holders in the box: the Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel Add-On, the EVO Racing Hub, the EVO Racing 31U Leather, and the EVO Racing 32R Leather. The Ferrari 499P Centenary Winner Edition is not among the seven because it names no fitting anywhere: its support page says it is "Only compatible with" a T818 on PC, a T598-P, or a T598-X, and no Thrustmaster surface for it names a quick release or an adapter at all. Counted from the 19 rim and hub listings on Thrustmaster's US racing catalog, 18 on 2 August 2026 and the 499P recounted on 3 August 2026.
Does the T818 include the Quick Release Adapter?
Yes, and the T598 does not. Every T818 box list reads "1 x Quick Release Adapter kit (adapter, nut, screw)", and the Black Edition footnotes it "*1 Quick Release Adapter is included for older generation wheel rims". The T598's own eleven-item box list holds no quick release of any kind, so a T598 owner with an older rim buys the $54.99 part.
