Best wheel for your buck?

The Dude 07 Nov 1999#501845
Right now I'm using a TM Nascar Pro, but the fact that the pot gives out too much, and the pedals have problems, I'm looking to buy a new one. I was wondering what is the best in the $100-$175 range? I was thinking Logitech's Formula Force wheel, but I don't know what to buy. Force feedback isn't a must, but it would be nice to have. Any suggestions? -The Dude?

Yeah, instead of spending $100-175 every year or however long these plastic wheels are lasting you, splurge and buy a TSW. The one im looking at i was quoted $335 without shipping charges. It may not have FF but it'll last along time. I use a Nascar pro right now as well. Just replaced the wheel pot and tightened up the gas pedal (was a little loose) It feels like new again but i want something that will last.

Hi The Dude, I just bought a Logitech Formula (Yellow) to replace my TM Nascar Pro. I was happy with it for the two years since i bought it, but i got tired of changing pots, springs, etc... I must say that the Formula wheel is much better than my old one although the pedals takes some getting used to. When in the pits, i turn the wheels it is so smooth unlike that jerkiness the TM was doing with them. My $ 0.02.... C. Giroux.
I bought a Logitech Formula wheel (no feedback) for $54 at some shopping site, to replace my TSW. I love the wheel. I especially like the paddle shifters, and the programmable buttons on the wheel. I don't have to take my hands off the wheel to hit F1, or F2 or all those other F keys now. The pedals do take some time to get used to. -- Sean Higgins Proud Member of Beaver Creek Racing Redline Racing League www.rrlnrs.com CNSRL www.cnsrl.com http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/hsts2/ HSTS, Powered by ATI Rage 128 http://www.atitech.ca ATI Technologies >Right now I'm using a TM Nascar Pro, but the fact that the pot gives out too >much, and the pedals have problems, I'm looking to buy a new one.

I've been using a Logitech FF wheel (Red), for about 9 months, and it's still like new. The pedals do take awhile to get used to (espically for GPL), but it just takes time. I have no complaints at all on this wheel. I have not used the Microsoft wheel though.

CompUSA is closing out it's private wheel, (I think it is a CH product) and selling them for less than 5 dollars US. dave henrie
