I'm not sure if I should post this message in the wheels section or the gt5p section because it pertains to both. Anyway, I'm very excited about getting gt5p in the US and am actively looking to buy the best wheel for this game. I keep hearing about the g25 and the fanatec 911 wheel. Does anyone have gt5p and have played with the g25 or 911 wheel that can give me some info? Thanks.
Please help me prepare for April 17th.

The G25 is slightly old, but is commonly accepted as the standard to which all steering wheels aspire. Its clutch and shifter add a measure of realism to GT, the metal steering wheel is unfettered by buttons, and is given great, accurate force feedback. There are a number of simple mods that can be done to the G25's shifter to improve it dangerously near the standard of perfection, and aren't very risky.
I won't pretend to know anything about the practical application of the 911, except for this: It has belt-driven force feedback, which means there is less lag, but it may be noisier than the gear-driven force feedback used in G25.
I don't know if the 911 is better, but you certainly won't be discontent with a G25 in any scenario. But, with something this expensive, you should only take the advice of someone who's working only with theory (me) if you're left with no other option. Best of luck to you!

Yes G25 is best to go and its cheap, You will have some money left over for a nice cockpit.. Go check out Amazon, I got my Playseats evouliton chair ( in black) for only 200 hundred dollars. They had a sale back then, who knows maybe ull get lucky?
The 911 wheel, I hear is good, but at the same time its rubbish with the pedals. Its not worth extra 100-150 dollars for it.

^You're actually recommending that cockpit? I'm too lazy to re-argue my point; look in the Rinoseats thread for why I don't like mine as anything more than a horrible-quality entry into a fantastic genre of products.

the g25 is great. best wheel i have ever used. the playseat is not near as bad as ea11r would like you to believe but i would have gone with the obutto ozone seat if i had it to do over. the rhino seat he talks about just looks weird something about it just throws me off.
