GT6 and GT5 PS3 racing wheel set up

[MonSterLing]

I would really appreciate some help selecting a high-quality wheel for primarily these two games, though potentially other games on PS4, PS5, and PC, if possible(though the main goal is GT6 and GT5 on PS3). I can get a different wheel for the newer stuff if that’s the only way to get a decent result overall.

I’d say I’m about split between wanting more realism and just improved control/performance(which should lead to faster lap times, of course) in game. Maybe leaning more towards realism though. I’m down to use a clutch and H-shifter, but I would enjoy the option to just use paddle shifters sometimes. Force feedback is a must have, and I would definitely like the full experience of a quality setup there. I’m also leaning towards a dedicated chair and rigid mount setup. My budget’s flexible, but I don’t want to pay a ton for very minor improvement or even trade offs. So far, I’ve heard decent things about the following models, but I’m open to any suggestions or input. I guess i probably lean more towards the T500, but I’m also probably not going to spend nearly $1,000 for a full setup.


Thrustmaster T500 RS

Thrustmaster T300

G25 or G27, or G29

Driving force GT


Edit: I also very much enjoy drifting, so a responsive wheel would be a strong consideration. Not sure if good force feedback is directly opposed to good responsiveness or not.

The Driving Force GT, G25, and G27 won't work on PS4 or PS5 natively, so I'd disregard those. The T500 is also an old model, and I'm not sure how good compatibility would be on those platforms.

The T300 is fine, though not the greatest in terms of value - Direct Drive wheels have gotten much more affordable in recent years, so it's a bit difficult to recommend belt-driven wheels. Having said that (and somebody else can confirm this), it's probably your best bet in terms of PS3/4/5/PC compatibility and FFB.
