Is it time to replace your race suit? Let’s get you track-ready. The Complete B-G and MOMO Mitsubishi Steering Wheel Hub Guide
Most people who come to us for a Mitsubishi hub are building an Evo, so let me answer that one first. I am Cameron, I look after the steering wheel side of things at GSM Performance.
One B-G hub, BG8182, covers the Evo 4, the Evo 5 and the Evo 6. One MOMO hub, MK6116R, covers the Evo 8, the Evo 9 and the Evo 10. There is no Evo 7 listing in either range. That is the whole Evo answer in two sentences, and it saves a lot of scrolling.
Beyond the Evo, Mitsubishi is one of the better covered makes we hold, running from the Celeste and the Sapporo through the Galant and the Pajero to the Colt CZ3. Below is the lot, what each hub covers, and the wheels that bolt to it.
The in-car photograph in this guide is an AI illustration, generated from our own OMP WRC product photography so the wheel and its horn button are the real thing.
Why you need a B-G or MOMO boss kit
An aftermarket wheel will not bolt onto a Mitsubishi column on its own. The column has splines, the back of the wheel has a bolt pattern, and the boss kit is the part that joins the two. It also sets how far the wheel sits from the dash, which decides your reach to the indicator stalks and the clearance over your knees.
Both brands machine theirs from cast aluminium and put the fixing screws, the Allen key and the horn button retaining ring in the box, so nothing is missing halfway through the job. The B-G kits are made in Italy and drilled twice, for 6 x 70mm and 6 x 74mm. The MOMO kits are drilled 6 x 70mm.
It joins two different fittings
Your column has splines. The back of the wheel has a bolt pattern. The hub is the only part that speaks both.
It sets how far the wheel sits
The hub decides the distance from the dash, which changes your reach to the indicator stalks and the clearance over your knees.
Nothing else to buy
The fixing screws, the Allen key and the horn button retaining ring are all in the box, so nothing stops you halfway through the job.
Match the listing to your car by year, not by model name. The Colt, Mirage, Lancer and Fiore are sold as one family across several listings and the part changes at 1988, at 1991 and again at 1998. The Galant, Eterna and Lambda do the same thing at 1987 and 1992.
Two Mitsubishi hubs are worth a second look before you order. The Pajero 3.2 DID with the central nut column takes BG8182, the same part as the Evo 4 to 6, which surprises people. And the Delica and the Tredia each appear twice at the same price under nearly identical titles because one is a collapsible design and the other is solid. Open both listings and read the key features before you pick.
Steering wheel installation explained
So how does a Sparco wheel end up on a MOMO hub? Because nearly every aftermarket motorsport wheel is drilled to the same pattern, six bolts on a 70mm circle, written as 6 x 70mm PCD. MOMO, Sparco, OMP, Simoni Racing and the Mountney M-Range all use it. The hub is chosen by your car, the wheel is chosen by you, and nothing locks you into one brand.

The full Mitsubishi B-G boss kit range
Sixteen B-G hubs cover the Mitsubishi range, and they all sit at the same money. This is the complete list, from the Celeste and the pre-1988 Pajero through to the Colt CZ3 from 2006.
BG8182 is the one most people are here for. It covers the Evo 4, 5 and 6 and the Pajero 3.2 DID with the central nut column, and it is a collapsible design. BG8074 turns up under the Delica, the Space Runner and the Space Wagon, and BG8365 does the 1992 to 1998 Colt, Mirage, Lancer and Fiore as well as the Space Gear.
Our top MOMO Mitsubishi boss kit collection
Nineteen MOMO hubs, all collapsible, all drilled 6 x 70mm. This is the deeper of the two ranges and it is where the later Evos, the GTO, the FTO and the Starion live.
MK6116R is the Evo hub, covering the Evo 8, the Evo 9 and the Evo 10 from one part. MC6101 is the workhorse and appears under seven listings including the early Colt family, the Cordia, the Sapporo and the Starion. MC6104 does the Eclipse, the GTO, the Sigma and the 1988 to 1992 Galant.
Explore our full range of B-G and MOMO boss kits
The links here run a live search across the store, so they stay current as the range moves. OMP make Mitsubishi hubs too, including the Evo 8, the Lancer either side of 1997, the L200 and L300 and the Colt CZ3. Those are a solid, non-collapsible design, which is what most track and competition cars run. If your Mitsubishi is not showing up in any of the three ranges, ask. Several of these cars share a column with a model that is listed, and we can usually work it out from the registration.

View the OMP Mitsubishi rangeWhy not add a steering wheel quick release kit
A quick release sits between the boss kit and the wheel and lets you pull the wheel off the column in a second. Two reasons people fit them. Getting in and out past a fixed wheel in a caged car is awkward, and a wheel that comes off with you is a wheel nobody can drive away with.
B-G Racing do four. The universal and the standard bolt-on versions suit most road and track cars and need nothing modifying. The weld-on 3-point and 6-point are for a car where the column is being cut and welded anyway. All four take the same 6 x 70mm wheels as everything else on this page.

Pair your boss kit with a high performance steering wheel
Once the hub is sorted the wheel is entirely your choice. These are the ones I would put in a Mitsubishi, and there is a spread of diameter, dish and price here rather than ten versions of the same thing.
In an Evo I would go straight for the OMP WRC or the MOMO Mod.03. Both are the sort of thing the works cars ran, both give you a rim you can hold properly with gloves on, and the Mod.03 has an 87mm dish that brings the wheel closer without moving the seat. For a Galant or a Pajero something larger and flatter suits the slower steering better.

Every wheel we sell is drilled 6 x 70mm, so any of them will bolt to any of the hubs above. The only real decision is diameter and dish, which changes how heavy the steering feels and how close the rim sits to your chest.
Final thoughts
Between B-G, MOMO and OMP there is a Mitsubishi hub for nearly everything, and the Evo question comes down to two part numbers. The hub is cheap next to the wheel, and getting it right is a case of matching the model and the year in the listing to your own car.
If you are stuck between two listings, drop us a line and ask for me. Send the registration over and I will tell you which hub you need before you spend anything.
