Looking for a steering wheel

[Dealmaster13]

I'm not a serious racer, with this being my first wheel purchase, and so have been looking for a quality steering wheel in the region of around £50 ($80) and don't really want to shell out £90 ($140) for a FFB wheel.

I would prefer to buy this in a shop due to delivery issues.

This wheel in particular has interested me, as it seems to be at least £10 more expensive elsewhere (including online):

Any thoughts?


Thanks,

Hi DM,

Despite your reluctance to spend a little more I really would go for a Logitech DFGT to start with. I would probably look on ebay and other online places to see if you can pick one up cheap second hand or bite the bullet and buy one new. I personally use the G27 with a friend of mine swearing by his DFGT.

If you buy the Ferrari wheel I think you will soon wish you had bought the DFGT and the added FFB makes the experience so much better. Dont waste £40-50 just to spend another £80-90 on a DFGT in a few months time, especially with GT6 launching!

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice.

I ended up buying a F430 FFB wheel yesterday as it was only about £70 after discounts

Unfortunately I wouldn't have been able to buy anything on ebay or gumtree due to delivery issues I mentioned in my original post
