Are Wheels "Cheap"?

Hey guys just wondering your opinion on this: I have been reviewing some racing wheels recently and taking a glance over at best buy and it seems that the wheels are so damn cheap. Not in terms of price but in quality. They are all light plastic and you just don't get a feel for the real thing. Seems more like a wheel in an arcade or something. The only one that really does it for me is the Act Labs Force RS, which is very durable and with the leather grip makes you feel at home. Granted, I haven't tried all wheels and have been hitting the crack pipe (jk, naturally) a lot lately so I could be wrong. -- Tony Wyss, Editor in-Chief Gamer's Alliance Sports www.ga-sports.com --------------------------------- Gamer's Alliance, Inc Sports Network Coordinator www.gagames.com -------------------------------- "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player" - John Kruk
Try the Ferraro Design Advantage One Wheel. www.ferrarodesign.com.au The Aussie / USD conversion rate makes this a great wheel. I've had one for about 6 mths and I cannot fault it at all.
