About MPI
All MPI (Max Papis Innovations) wheels are designed and engineered in the USA and built in Italy using the latest steering wheel technology and state of the art materials. MPI prides itself on several wins in NASCAR CUP, Xfinity, Truck, Late Models, World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, Dirt Modifieds, Off Road, UTV, Legends and local races.
At MPI we take every aspect of construction and safety to our hearts, in the most accurate and dedicated way possible. Before becoming an MPI product, our structures need to pass our internal quality control tests. Amongst the many is a torque structural steering wheel test that is considered one of the most severe on the “road car” market. Another is a stress test to see what our steering wheel does when load is applied to it. This simulates what happens when you keep your hands on the steering wheel during a severe impact. Just a couple of examples of how our technology works and how safety and construction R&D is applied to all MPI products.
THIS is the MPI difference.
