What wheel should I get if I get one?

[scooter1265]

I know some of the wheels are good and bad.
I recently stumbled upon one that had padles for gas and brake.
I reluctantly refused to buy it, but I couldn't help staring at the GT Force wheel, the one with the red dials on the wheel that allow you to change how the car drives in the game.
If I want a good wheel, which one should I get and what should I use to mount it or make it so I can drive comfortably.
By the way, the VisionRacer just isn't in the budget right about now.

1: Wrong section.
2: I'd look for one of the Fanatec wheels, or the Logitech G25/G27.

Try this section

And also using the search function before posting questions that have already been made and answered. Personally, I bought myself a G27 and i've been enjoying it a lot.

You can't go wrong with a G27/G25 but they are expensive. A DFP or a DFGT will do the job if you don't want to spend a lot.

There really was no need for a new thread - plenty on this, even in this very forum:

If you want the official wheel for the game, including that red dial to change settings on the fly more easily, then you want to be looking at the Driving Force GT. A step up from those in quality are the G25 and now G27, but you do lose that dial. However, what you lose in functions you gain in a better wheel with much better pedals. You pays your money and you takes your choice. Nobody here can tell you what is for best, because only you can decide.

i wouldnt say that, DFGT's are still 150$ at some stores...targets and best buy to name a few.

driving force gt has been $100 at best buy for over 3 weeks, that's why they're all sold out. Amazon is under $90. This makes no sense to me though. Most retailers are out of the official GT5 steering wheel, yet the game hasn't released.

My local Frys Electronics has 8+ DFGTs in stock for $100ea.

If you have a local Frys, I highly recommend you to purchase one from there.
