Need a wheel!

[Golfman]

Help! Have only ever used the controller for my racing games, but with GT5 and F1 2010 I really want to try using a wheel since it supposedly adds to the experience. What is the best wheel to get?

What price range are you looking for?

Logitech GT Driving Force i hear is the best .. i am going to get one and make the set up https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=105033 by ericleroi it looks pretty nifty .. Now i just need to think of something the Mrs thinks she needs but doesn't to justify it .. Humm new shoes , hair do , handbag (a small one not much weight can be added inside incase it backfires on me) ? Ermm it'll come to me lol.

• The Fanatec GT3RS or the new Carrera wheel
• The Logitech G25/27 or the DFGT if you don't need a clutch and H-patern shifter.

Other wheels are too expensive or not compatible with the PS3.

I vote new carrera as it has great adjustability.

I would go for anything up to £80 as long as it was good. All i want is a set of pedals and a good quality wheel with either flap-changer gears or a gearstick. Iv heard Logitech's ones are good.

Keep saving your money too get a good wheel (G25 or G27, no experience with other makes of wheels); it will be worth it!

And then you can save/spend more money on a racing seat!

Sorry but i wouldnt waste money on a racing seat. Thats going a bit too far. For a start, in my flat i havent got any room!

I meant that it is easy to spend more money (if you have it)

By the way, what's that wheel with the three pedals and gearstick pictured at the top of these forums next to the Japanese guy? Is that a Logitech one? It looks good.

I still say my G25 is he best there is! Tried G27 and didnt like it...

Logitech G27.

I have a G25 for sale if you're interested! here's the link to my ad on the GTP trading post. It maybe slightly over your price range, but its really worth it

It is a brilliant wheel, as is the slightly cheaper Logitech DFGT, both of which I am quite familiar with. It really enhances the experience, I've gone back to a controller on one or two occasions, and wondered where all the involvement has gone...
