Thinking about investing in a wheel, my controllers doing me good now that ive calmed down and actually know how to drive the thing now unlike before i left...when i FIRST started the game i was on a wheel then bought a controller caue i had a hard time reaching the petals, lol i was a little dude, but now i have money and stuff, getting a new Motem For my ping, and i think now that i can drive these things, i think ill be a lot better and smoother on a wheel instead of a controller...but if im gonna get one im gonna go all out, so i just need opinion on what the best brand or whatever i should get, so far im looking at one called a G25, VERY expensive, but plz feedback, cause im 16, dont wanna waste my money on something that aint gonna help.

Ive always ran a Logitech MOMO...Bout 50-100 bucks and will last awhile if you dont yank it off the desk

lol ice been there done that til i turned feedback off. king, i have a logitech momo as well and will definately buy another 1 when this 1 finally croaks.

any kind of logitech wheel can be good. I know i use the blue handled logitech driving force.(ps2) it is about as old as you and i bought top half for a dollar on ebay and full top and bottom for fifteen bucks. Look around and find a deal i suggest first. Plus for me. years ago i had this same wheel. got it out of closet and bought more of the same for parts and jsut to interchange it all. works for me!

btw i went through two momo's before i got the old blue out of the closet. But i drive like a madman sometimes and i revomend not using the force feedback for longer life of the wheel.

i recently bought a thrustmaster f430 and am highly impressed. Did a lot of research b4 i bought it. G25 and G27 cost a lot more than the f430 for basically having a clutch pedal and shifter. If you only use padel shifter you can get a new one one day delivery from amazon for $160. Still getting used to it but am already faster everywhere i went so far. The wheel is heavy duty and 11 inches leather bound . Pedals are awesome. I made up stand out of wood to keep pedals from moving

I have a Momo as well, I love it for DTR2 but HATE it for Nascar!!! I am STILL using the same one I started with, but I have had to move on to using the wing shifters (paddles on wheel) because of slamming the shifter so hard and much it broke on the innerds. I have 2 dogs that shed, so I have to keep it cleaned out! Other prblem I have is that I have to bungee the brake to keep it from slowing me down, becasue it likes to stay on just enough to slow u down a lil, I have also noticed that sometimes I don't get full throttle, but then again I do have shedding dogs so it could be hair. I took it apart once and had to clean it and fix the springs for the throttle. It is not very good in Nascar because of not having the clutch. I have ALWAYS used force feedback and run in-car view, so that I can have the most realistic experience. FF lets u feel the track instaed of just floating it. You can feel the bumps and grooves!!! I have mine on FF for 5 years (2 years online) running this and SCE having some pedal issues lately but other than the MOMO for DTR2 is the BEST you will get for the price!!!! I Have a thread for some others I will look 'em up and edit this post!!!
