Steering wheel and pedals question

bknaka · 09-27-2009, 05:22 PM

I wanted to buy a steering wheel and pedals, but i dont know which one to get. I want it to be good quality yet affordable. I'm thinking my spending limit would be about $80 but if you have a suggestion that goes over, please dont hesitate to let me know. I dont want it to be a piece of crap, but at the same time, it doesn't have to be the top of the line. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance = )

Hi bknaka.

They are all pretty similar. Best to stick to quality brands like Logitech, Saitek or Thrustmaster and just pick whichever you prefer.
You can find some good recommendations here.

I've been using the Ferrari F430 Thrustmaster wheel mentioned in Tiber's link in games like GRID for the past few months, and more recently NFS Shift and rFactor. Great performance and responds well to configuration tweaks. Highly recommended as a good non-pro wheel.
