Seems to tough to get a g25/g27 for that price in USA. In poland i got my g25 for 150$ with some scratches and small damage (i noticed that damage after 2 months, so it's nothing huge lol) I'd check on gumtree, craigslist and ebay for good offers. Best wheel you can hope for in this price range is g25 or g27. They are known to be a well-priced full set that you need to do sim racing (H-shifter, very good pedals with clutch, strong FFB with amazing durability and longevity)

Not sure how much they are over there in the States but i recently picked up a brand new G920 for £170/$218 here in the UK, i then paid another £40/$51 for the H shifer.

Cough up the 76 additional dollars for a g29.

The G29/920/27? If so they a great wheels, the wheel is nicer looking than the G27 IMO but the pedals are the biggest improvement, specifically the progressive spring in the brake pedal in the G29/920. The G920, G29 & G27 all use the same helical gear-driven force feedback.

The H shifter isnt necessary but gives real authenticity to driving the manual shifting vehicles adding that extra depth to the game and i would highly recommend it.

Both the wheel and shifter are on sale on Amazon at the moment(here in the UK anyway)! ... With prime you can pick up the G29 or G920 and the H shifter for £156.98/$201.70.

I paid £229.98/$295.50 just a few months back and even at that price the set-up worth every penny.

I use Thrustmaster T150. Has pedals and wheel, no clutch (or buy Pro version, ~50US$ more with clutch). It is very accurate, the FFB is good, for my taste even quite too strong. IT has 1080° degree rotation. Feels good in the hands, enough buttons. Can't really complain.
New price is about ~150$. I would stay away from used wheels because you don't know how harsh the owner was playing with it or how many times he used a button so that its lifespan is rather low.

Thanks I did take a look at the wheel but I feel as if spending the extra money on the g29 will be worth it in terms of reliability and such

You should go for the T150 if you are searching for a new good wheel. The G29/G27 are from a technical view outdated. I dont recommend them at all. The good standing for Logitech wheels comes from a time where we werent so much spoiled in terms of simulation and addition hardware to increase our immersion. But in the end its your decision.

[Shon]

G27 Gives you the ability to use clutch and H-shifter, though its not amazingly accurate, but its kinda nonsense unless you are trying to be a top sim racer. The Average driver can even handle driving with a Xbox controller and compete well with others.

as of right now i am debating whether to get the T150 pro or the g29, help?

Wish i had spend the extra money and gotten a H shifter wheel from the start. :/

if you can get a GOOD deal, then that is what you should prioritize.
I would stake the G29/G920 against the T150-PRO / TMX-PRO(the box with the plastic 3 pedals inside).
Those are the two (four) new options when staying within your budget-range. Street-price.

Advantage Logitech: the carpet grip-strip on the pedal-base. pedal-base uses 4 screw-threads for hard-mounting
Advantage Thrustmaster: + smoother on-center feel, quieter operation under load.
- pedals use 2 screw-threads for hard-mounting.

Be realistic about your purchase: either one is an entry-level wheel when it comes to actual simulated driving/racing. And they are going to feel only as good as the software you use them on combined with the effects- and gain-settings that you set them to. Neither are particularly strong wheels; that is not what they are designed to be. They will however provide a good, solid platform to enjoy your racing-sims in a way you have not experienced them before and make you feel the cars a lot better.

BTW, on the PC, any racing-sim worth it's salt can handle multiple separate usb input-devices at once. So e.g. Logitech wheel with Thrustmaster shifter is possible. Unfortunately the Logitech shifter is designed to only plug into one of their own wheels (not truly stand-alone). Having used a G25's shifter and later the TH8A from Thrustmaster, I recon you should consider targeting the TH8A since it is a much more satisfying piece of hardware (much better to feel what gear you select) - but noone really needs an h-shifter for the beginning, so I'd advise to not bother at first.

BTW the Logitech shifter also works standalone with this adapter :)
