    I love the wheel but I have been racing lately with a controller.

      $250 dayum brah. You can a decent one for less than $100.

          No. Decent ones do not come under $100. I've done a shit ton of research on wheels. The best wheel you can get for the cheapest price is a used Microsoft wheel (out of production), and those are usually just $100+ on ebay. Which is alright, but it still leaves quite a bit to be desired.

            Like Swarley said, you can't get a good wheel for $100. You can buy cheap wheels but they're not very good.

            I mostly use a wheel but I have been using a controller more since I dont' have a wheel compatible with GT5, and its a pain going back and forth.

              Two decent ones under $100.

                    This


                    You won't convince either one of us. Trust me, we have both done quite a bit a research on wheels.

                      It's not great by any meant necessary but it can get the job done.

                      Garbage by your standards, but their decent.

                        I'd rather race with a controller than use those. Those would be "decent" for maybe Cruzin' USA at the arcade lol. Like I previously stated, the only decent wheel out there for fairly cheap is the discontinued Microsoft wheel. There's really no point in even using those other cheap wheels when they bring no effects of what a wheel should.

                          What is that discounted Microsoft wheel?

                          Also I hear this is solid wheel, only a little over $100

                            Discontinued, not discounted. That Ferrari wheel is still meh. It's definitely better made, but it still has some crappy pedals and no force feedback. The Microsoft wheel certainly isn't the prettiest wheel, but it is the cheapest wheel you will find with force feedback, which there's no point in using a wheel if it doesn't have that feature.

                                That one's not mine, just Googled one. I do have one in my closet (b/c I use my Fanatec). I am going to sell it, just waiting to see if one of my friends is going to want it before I try to sell it on the 'net.
