Personally, I feel the CSR rim is total crap. You can purchase some leather wrapping for cheap, but I would go for the GT2 package. Just my opinion. I know the GT2 package is $150 more, but I feel worth every penny. You also get the CSP V2 over the CSR Elites. That is a $100 value alone.
 
I own the GT2, CSR Elite wheel, and ClubSport pedals, so here's my opinion.

I love the GT2 wheel, especially the feel of the rim, but I'm not sure that kit is worth the $150 price difference in raw performance. I'd probably go with the CSR edition. The CSR wheel rim feels pretty chintzy, but it is very lightweight (the GT2 has some mass) so the wheel is more responsive to force feedback and changes direction faster. The paddle shifters on the CSR are much nicer and offer good travel and tactility. The GT2 paddles are much stiffer. The CSR kit comes with the CSR stick shifter set which feels a little nicer than the Porsche shifters, though they work the same way. Finally, based on reviews I have read, the CSR Elite pedals seem to offer nearly all the performance of the ClubSport pedals, but in a cheaper build. They're also easier to invert if you're into that.

I still don't know which way to go, I will see what some more people say about it. Thanks
 
Well, here's another possible way to look at it. If you decide on the CSR bundle you can take the $150 savings and use it to buy a RennSport Wheel Stand, Wheel Stand Pro, or GT Omega Wheel Stand. A solid mounting option is a must for a good wheel.
