I brought my first wheel a Logitech G920 at super low price Black Friday offer of £179. WHY I haven't Ihad a wheel and pedal set before is beyond me! I am having so much fun!! 😊👍

Be aware of the Logitech G29 noise level - sometimes gears are producing clanking noise like it's a jackhammer (when I setup it to my desk - my neighbors downstairs got real mad, they thought I was doing apartment repairs in the middle of the night).


Great wheel otherwise for its money, served me well for more than 5 years and is still going.

I simply use a G25 given to me by a mate for free many many years ago, on my boyfriend’s desk! I’ve spent all my money on upgrading our gaming PC, a Quest2 VR headset, and DLC. See no need to upgrade my wheel until it breaks, I still get top 5 results in RF2 races with it! Even then I might get a second hand G29 or something 😂

I bought a broken G920 wheel for $75AUD about 4 month ago, then found some broken pedals that matched for $45AUD, fixed them both then swapped to larger 350mm Momo and they have been amazing. The lager wheel has made the most difference to my driving because I find the standard one to small. Great first setup.

I build my first simracing setup few mounts ago for around $700 (using Xbox series s)
Thrustmaster tx base-used
Th8a shifter- used
T3pa pro- used
Sparco r383 wheel- used
NanoRS wheel stand- new

I’ve started with a T150, after a couple of years I upgraded to a T300GT, which is an excellent option for me still today if you don’t want to go for a DD, now I have with my T300 an acelith MC mod rim, a Ferrari 599x rim, TH8A shifter and the T-LCM pedals with the loadcell .. will stay like that till thrusmaster makes an “affordable “ DD or will have to change to an other ecosystem in some years

Don't forget the CAMMUS C5, an excellent Direct Drive option at a very competitive price.
Especially if you have little space and don't have a cockpit, it can fit anywhere.

[DCFHazardRebornChannel]

Price variance from region/country to country really plays a big role here. Where I am you cannot find a G29 lower than 330 euro. Whereas the T128 is at 180 to 200. Its the clear winner from the two wheels hands down for that price difference.

[EmoDKTsuchiya]

Just bought a T128 as my first wheel and im very pleased with it.

[Sizlees]

I bought a pxn v9 and i love it i havent played any game except beamng drive for weeks i will upgrade to a t300rs or a moza r5 bundle once 2 years pass

Logitech 923. True force and a good brake pedal is where a beginner gets hooked! Now I’m looking at direct drives… expensive hobby, but crazy fun.

[billwiley]

I think that a good set of load cell pedals makes a much larger difference in feedback or consistency than the wheel you start out with.

I got 923 Logitech and I love it ! I don’t see the limitations of a gear driven wheel as a casual player of gt7

[dedskin]

i see the lag on the monitor, what none of you do is measure lag, and measure force, there is a way to to measure force, it can be done, Arduino can be programed to move them, force meter, and measure the force . Its done all the time on motors . It takes a community that you have, some IT guys and there you go, you can get a lot of different parameters measured .

[xXMINIJARVISXx]

Just upgraded my old T150 to the T300RS with the Ferrari SF1000 wheel and im loving it so far!
I will Definitely upgrade the base to the T818 if i ever have the money though!

[Erowens]

Still running a t300Gt several years later. The wheelbase and wheel itsefl are simply good enough. I don't feel they're holding me back at all. The pedals however are fairly weak. The T3pa brake pedal leaves a lot to be desired.

I think the T300 pairs very well with the SHH Newt shifter.

[MrCourty]

Still rocking a G25 i bought 2nd hand back in 2013 with folding stand and shifter for £110 collected, a friend cam round 9ne day with his G923, was particularly impressed in comparison if im honest, keep thinking of upgrading though

[MrKrampyHands]

Man I lived my g29 while I used it for 2 years then upgraded to a R5 bundle then 3 months later got a R12 CS wheel CRP loadcell pedals and a Moza hgp shifter and HBP hand brake and a NLR cockpit my setup is in its final form and it's amazing

[petermatas]

Bought a Thrustmaster TMX (T150) in a discount for about 100€. Good for getting into racing games, however I soon realized that the wheel was very limiting. Also the feel of gears was unpleasant. Currently looking forward to getting CSL DD R2R bundle in near future.

[blappeck]

Just snatched a thrustmaster t500rs set in mint condition only for 200 euro. Used market is less trustable but the best money to performance ratio.
