Buying a Wheel
Unlimited, or do you mean unlimited as in £300?
Theres a wheel guide in my signature, but it seems if you want something better than a G25 your looking at spending over $1000 US

oh i might as well get G25 then..
Unlimited? Well BRD offer very good wheels from what I've heard, the non-FF version was about £300 but some rate it above the Logitech wheels due to its quality and precision, and I think they're due to bring out a FF wheel soon. If you really have unlimited money then there is an American company somewhere offering wheels for over a £1000 I'm sure the quality is excellent but it really seems hard to justify when you could just spend £150 on a G25 and build your own cockpit for less than that
To me, buying a £1000 wheel to play commercial racing sims is a bit like using Sennheiser 595s to listen to FM radio. The games will never be able to use the wheel's full potential.
g25 is ok ... over priced... really overpriced... i used the xbox 360 wheel ( microsofts official one ) and its Really good... id recommend it 
also why pay 1000 for a wheel when all you get is vibration and no pull back.
if i was you id look into buying a full force ockpit rig... i could make myown but i dont have the money for air rams and that kinda crap :S

Considering what you get, I think its a bargain.
An ACT labs shifter is like £80 new, Pedals probably more.
G25's are about £160ish.
...how? I spent £60 on a set of ACT Labs pedals and the G25 is miles better, add that to a wheel thats higher quality than my Momo (which is about £50 new) and a shifter (which tbh is a bit of a novelty) and consider the general "feel" of the wheel it's quite good value
its 300 euro here... with all the pedals shifts etc but meh id rather spend 300 euro on 2 fiat puntos ( or a old rwd seirra or 316 bmw 
) ... much more fun doing burn out in the back fields over here...
) ... much more fun doing burn out in the back fields over here... XBox wheel is overpriced. It lacks quality and functions(shifter&900 degrees) of DFP, yet it's more expensive.
pfff. i'll slap the ears off u if i see you up here burning put beemers in fields
...gaming steering wheels aren't all that complicated inside, theres not a whole lot that goes on, and, infact all you would get from a more expensive naff wheel is a one hundred percent assurance that under heavy working loads it won't curl into a ball and cry...but whats not to say that the G25 wont miss an input under load?
i'd rather purchase two or three cheaper(of anything)rather than spend a mad amount of money on a stylee product because 1.) the gf wud kick the shit outa me, 2.)I dont throw money down the toilet(cept' for whens I get pissed)

There really isn't much to a steering wheel, I considered buying a DFP and remounting the internals into a nicely fabricated steel casing with some kind of high quality replacement bearings and a real steering wheel. In the end though it just seemed like far too much work and made a G25 look like a sensible option, which I refuse to spend that much on what seems from forum reports to just be a mass produced bit of crap underneath. From what I've seen of it it sounds like it will still suffer from the plastic weak spots that made my previous wheel break in two and I know will be the part that will fail on my DFP, but in the end of the day most people would rather spend £150 on something that will wear out and has no possibility of replacement parts rather than pay double for something that will last
I think the quality would be much higher than the Logitech stuff but £250 seems rather excessive for a set of pedals.
...it would indeed take some time to measure the internal components and then fabricate, probably two hours work
......Im planning eatting a wheel soon, i may also plan to crack it open, this thread is gonna be the death of my new wheel.damn.
...
anyone know off the top of their head how much metal fabricators charge for small bits?...and carbon fibre too, yummy, how much?You use the Xbox 360 wireless wheel? I'm not aware of any 360 wired wheel, if there is one, could you point me in the right direction?
Assuming it's the wireless one: How did you get it working with your PC? Does it have force feedback?
I'm trying to find one wheel to use with Forza 2 and LFS, it sounds like you could really help me out with this.
