Which wheel?
Hi there Racers

5 year ago I bought a cheap wheel with pedal, it was 35$: side to side movement of the wheel 80 degree. No FF, pedal on the same axis, really really cheap kit but It worked fine and I raced in live for speed for a long time with a lot of plaisure

last summer I went to buy a G25, found one for 230$ CAD (which is a very good price) brand new, I ordered one, waited like a month and they hadn't received it yet (because logitech create so few to make the price raise)

like a month ago my cheap wheel broke, and I'm unable to race with mouse or keyboard. I need a new wheel. Now I used my brain (which is kind of painful ) and I said to myself: The g25 is a great wheel but it is expensive and you don't need the H-shifter because you (I) prefer the paddle shifter (like F1). Why not buy a wheel cheaper than the g25 but good value (like 300 or more degree, 1 motor FF or more and 3 pedal ON SEPARATED AXIS PLEASE)

Now I need your help, what wheel will fit my need?
thanks you
How about the new porsce wheel or something. There should be a thread about it tho.
Maybe a second hand MOMO or DFP

Get a DFGT. Awesome wheel for its price.

Aye, looks like the best bang for the buck. It's what I'm going for.

The Fanatec wheels are looking good as well, but I'll go with the known top quality support of Logitech for now.
Stay well away from DarkPlanets! I bought my DFP from them a while back, and the pedals and calibration system broke. I rang up Logitech, who told me to contact DarkPlanets. DarkPlanets sent me a new wheel. The new DFP's PSU broke. I cannot ring their number (have tried 97 times and counting) and am stuck with a half broken PS2 controller instead of my £60 DFP.
The Driving Force GT is probably the best wheel you can get for the price, it has everything you need. The jog dial even alows you to adjust car settings on the fly in cars that alow it. This is ofcource if you set it up to, which isn't hard at all.

I've had one for a while now, and even the peddals are better than I expected, at first they looked cheap, but they are pretty solid. They match perfectly with my MS sidewinder pedals I have sitting right next to them as a foot rest and clutch.

I have a logitech momo
robyn i didnt talk to you you i was talking to roadrunners... sorry if it seemed like it... but i dont think it did
o i see the now my bad
i was gonna get a G25 but decided it was too much money, went for DF GT. good wheel, but after a day or two the brake pedal has gone loose... It nocks in it's first cm and a half of travel and then the brake pedals tension comes back into play to stiffen it all up again. I don't really notice when driving tbh, only if i rest my foot on the pedal it drops a bit. but it's really annoying when i'm not driving cus i leave my pedals under the desk and sometimes put my feet on em and feel the brake nocking, not a ncie feel.
Thats realy odd, I've had mine for 3 months now and it hasn't done that, and I haven't been very easy on the brake pedal either.

Eventualy I'm going to build my own pedals, but for now the DFGT pedals seem to be as well constructed as my old sidewinder pedals are. I'm even running them side by side as a clutch and footrest.
RoadrunnerS is just a salesman from Thrustmaster here to advertise their new wheel. Remember his last thread?
yepp thats why i told him to stop
