Best Racing Wheels ?

[woofdang]

Can someone link me to some of the racing wheels as I'm thinking of buying one from ebay but unsure which has buttons or pedals for preasure gas and brakes,

[Simon said EAT DUST PLAYER_1 !]

"GamerMuscle" on youtube has recently driven through G25 -> T300-gte -> TS-PC -> Open Simwheel (direct-drive tech). Pretty good if you are after a subjective point of view of these wheels specifically.

additionally look up "the SimPit" and insidesimracing.tv (both do frequent youtube-reviews of relevant gear and sim-titles, often with the help of the OEMs loaning/giving them their products for review free of charge including Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec)

The TX (Also works on Xbox One) or it's almost completely identical (except for 1080 degree wheel rotation instead of 900) counterpart for PS4, the T300 are quite good Med-High end wheels.

If you've never really used racing wheels or just aren't sure if you will fully enjoy it you can also pick up a TMX for about 150 Euros, so like 175 Dollars.

I personally don't recommend Logitec wheels (G25, G27, G920) because they aren't officially upgradable with new pedals, different types of shifters and handbrakes, mounting on a different or just higher quality wheels, what you buy is what you get.

The Thrustmaster family (TX, T300, T500 etc) all support the same swappable rims, pedals, shifters and handbrakes, so if you don't like an aspect of your kit you can just swap it.

If you know you'll like it and/or have a ton of money to blow you can also settle with Fanatec, on their website you can order your wheels with every single bit of in customised to your liking, it is much more expensive than the TX and T300 (You can get those for less than 300 bucks) but you also do get one if not the best racing wheel experience on the market.

Hope this helps you decide man, good luck.

T300rs is very cheap and does good job.

With a Logitech G25 or G27 you would have a complete package for the beginning. It has 3 pedals, clutch, brake, gas and a 6 speed H shifter. The pedals are quite good, the shift lever is spongy and the steering wheel has a death zone because of the 2 motors over gears and is generally not so good and weaker than a belt drive wheel. The Thrustmaster T300 RS or GTE is a very good and cheap steering wheel, but it has only 2 pedals that are not so good, but as mentioned above, it can be extended with other pedals. The TS-PC Racer is an improved and stronger T300 but has no pedals. Now it depends on what racing games you want to play with it, because not all support multi USB input devices. If a game supports multiple input devices, you can connect a steering wheel, pedals, shift and handbrake to an extra USB port and are therefore independent. Dirt Rally, Assetto Corsa, rFactor, RaceRoom, ProjectCars, i-racing supports this just as an example.
I personally have a TS-PC Racer with the 599XX EVO 30 Wheel, TH8A Shifter, Fanatec Clubsport V3 Pedals and the Fanatec Handbrake.
Since everything is quite cost-intensive, I only came to this equipment after many years and started with a G25.
If my TS-PC Racer fails, my next steering wheel will be a fanatec.

some friends got their t500rs since 2011....
so it's sure we will have long days with our TS PC RACER

:D

it's very nice with dirt rally, thanks !!!
but i get bored so much, there are not enough tracks.....

The Thrustmaster service is in any case good, my T300 was broken after half a year and was repaired properly. My TS-PC Racer was broken after 2 weeks, but this too was quickly repaired and is now better than new.
They should have chosen me as a tester for their steering wheels! :-D

Yes we need a DLC for Dirt Rally, new handmade Tracks and new Cars!

how can you break TS PC RACER ?

i have on it 350mm OMP WRC wheel and I give to it some much pain but it resists and gives to me entirely satisfaction.

And Dirt rally is dead, no more support and DLC.....Dirt 4 same...

[Raffi]

These are my weak arms, remember? :-D
It went from now on no more, the engine was defective. I have it in any case not overloaded with my settings ;-)
I hope very much for a Dirt Rally expansion, but who knows what comes ...

the only one problem i had was when i replaced F1 wheel and paddles shifter with customs, I've broken "GND" cable..it's too short.... so i had to use weld machine and soldered "GND", it's strange on my TX, i have no "GND".....although base are exactly the same...

For dirt Rally, no i'm sorry, i have no hope, it's really a dead game with no more locations or stage generator....

And if they didn't change dirt 4, it will be a dead game....we just need more slide and more variations with stages to have a perfect dirt 4 !

Please do everything but no Track generator, so something does not belong in a game with simulation claim. It is a simple means for the developer to get more variations in the game but the generated physics is like from a drawer and thus the track does not have its own character. Likewise, each car has its own character and at Dirt 4 I miss this and now we ourselves should over the setup this generate ?? Since something is wrong, I adjust the car to the track, but do not bend it so it looks like the original. In my opinion, we have been pretty ...... with Dirt 4!

Logitech wheels have nice feedback but are a little small. I use an old Fanatec CSR and CSR pedals in conjuction with the Thrustmaster TH8a shifter. I think quality wise the shifter is awesome. Though a little light on clicking it's all metal construction is tough, very precise.
Price wise Fanatecs have lost their market place since a full rig from them now I can buy a real used Mini Cooper S and beat the snot out of it. Thrustmaster seems to come in below that on their top end. If thrustmasters wheels and pedals are anything like their shifter it is worth a serious look.
Get in the game for a descent wheel without breaking the bank then it would be Logitech.
