What wheel is best for me?
I just joined this game and purchased s2 and i have been wanting to buy i wheel and I wasn't sure if you guys in the LFS community had a preference but i was looking at the G27. Post you suggestions below Thanks
G27 will do you just fine.

Yeah, buy G27.
If you can afford it, go for the G27.
i know it will sound like im just sounding like a fanboy again but you should take a look at Fanatec wheels
buy DFGT, or G25.
just use keyboard lol
Quote from theirishnoob :buy DFGT, or G25.

May I ask why? G25 feels like shit compared to G27 to be perfectly honest... Even they are very similiar wheels in other aspects. G27 is million times smoother and the shifter feels better, but I have to agreee that the shifter is still shit.

But it will be an awesome wheel until you start noticing the wrongs.
I'm maybe weird but I prefer the G25. It looks and feels more like a real wheel because of having less buttons and shifter is good. It may be just that I'm used to it but the shifter in G27 feels very soft and dampened. The sound of G25's shifter is problem for some but it doesn't annoy me. Also G25 shifter has the sequential option.
You must be kidding me. Have you owned both wheels? Having less buttons is no reason to begin with. G25 shifter is one lousy shit without ANY resistance if not modified.
You can do the same resistance mod on G27 shifter, which it don't necessarily need while G25 do. Also, G25 sequential sucks after you have done the resistance mod, hardly even works.

Now there is a huge steering smoothness difference. G25 vibrates a LOT, because of the gears. G27 is has a huge improvement with it's new gear designs.

Also G27 has had some fatness to it's wheel, while G25 wheel ring is one thin POS.

G25 makes annoying ass rattling noise which can be heard from other side of the house because it's so deep. G27 barely makes any noise.

I sold my G25 long time ago to my friend, and has been testing both G25 and G27 side to side. I laughed at how shit G25 felt compared to G27, because I remembered that it was better.
I'm not kidding. My friend owns a G27 and that's what I'm comparing to. G27 shifter don't seem to have any more resistance than G25 does it just feels less mechanical, like they have added some rubber in there to make it more silent. FFB feels all pretty much same G25 is just more noisy but it doesn't bother me, when I simrace I have the speakers on quite loud so it covers most of the noises. I simply don't like the design of G27. It looks like a toy because of the buttons and because of them it has more thick "spokes" what don't feel good at all. G25 feels and looks more like a real "sports" wheel in my hands. G27 feels more like one of those modern car's steering wheels with all those buttons for radio and A/C etc.
Their both fine but I just prefer the G25.

BTW I made the resistance mod for the G25 shifter but I guess I didn't use a big enough pieces under the springs because it didn't make much of a difference. Tho sequential still works fine. The biggest problem with G27 for me is that it has no sequential shifter, rest I would probably get used to but there are still some games/mods what require sequantial stick for me.
