    Cheapo wheels may not be worth the money.
    If you have a tight budget / are not willing to spend much, have a look at used wheels like G25/27 etc.
    You can find them for pretty cheap.

    I would recommend a G920/G29. Best bang-for-buck. They come fully equipped to experience the game as it should be, and are not super-expensive like higher-tier wheels with equal options.

    Don't go for a used G-series. Although the wheels are sturdy, they will break eventually.

    I just got this logitech driving force pro off of craigslist for $110 dollars and the guy brought it to me.
    It has pretty nice force feedback (just a little loud) and 900 degrees of rotation.
    It just doesn't have a clutch or a manual shifter (that's a sequential shifter in the picture).
    The force feedback works great with default settings in assetto corsa although I haven't been able to get it to work as well in beam.

    For that price you could have gotten a g25.

    But you can sometimes find a brand new g27 from a shop storage which is way better value for money than the overpriced g29. Also the g27 is highly servicable as you can just take it apart in your home with basic tools. The only thing is that it lacks replacement parts.

    The only g25 I saw on craigslist was $200 cad and that got snatched up real quick.
    I think the guy who sold me this wheel got that g25 because he said he was selling this because he got a g25.
    I'm happy with my wheel anyways the force feedback is good, it's in good condition and the guy brought it right to my house.

    Lol for around 250$ I bought my g27 when it was new... About 3 or 4 years ago...

    You can get a nice condition g25 over here for about 700 PLN ~ 170$
    It is way better than any wheel with no shifter.

    Trust me, shifter gives A Lot to the gaming expirience... I have both a crappy 10 year old logitech wheel with no ffb and my beat up g27 and the shifter make a huge difference. (Lately I turned my crappy old wheel into a handbrake :D)

    If your talking about $170 usd then that's about $218 cad also I only had $110 cash, it was christmas money.
    I can use my flight stick as a handbrake I've seen a bunch of other people do it and my flight stick, I found it in the alley by my house, no joke.

    You could have just waited a year and got a better wheel... I did it that way and It was a right decission.

    Serviceability is not an issue. The G27/G29/G920 all have the same hardware and work pretty much the same. I have both a G27 and a G920 and the only difference is that the G920 is a lot quieter. Other differences are just buttons. However, the biggest advantage of the G920 is compatibility. My G27 simply decided to stop working on my Win10 rig, and it only works on my Win 8.1 work station.

    As for the prices. Have you seen the prices on a G27? A used one can cost anywhere from $260 to $600... USED. A new G920/G29 costs $250 + $50 if you want to add the shifter. Only $40 more (if you add the shifter. And why wouldn't you?)for a brand-new item. A new G27 can cost up to $1,200, as ridiculous as it might sound. Search it.

    So yeah, I wouldn't say buying a wheel that not only is outdated on most systems, but also 4 times the price of a newer version is a good value.

    Mine works fine on win 10.
    Over here prices of g27 are considerably lower than the g29. And the fact that all of the buttons are on the steering wheel instead of the shifter panel is really annoying.

    Only 65? Better hunt down ebay
    Even the cheapest Thrustmaster I know is $100, and doesn't even work with pc (fyi thats the one i own and it sucks it has ike 100 degrees of rotation, extremely sensitive on Forza Motorsport games (horizon works fine), cheap feeling, not a good drift wheel (but still more fun then a controller), paddle shifters, no clutch pedal, limited controls)
    Racing wheels aren't cheap. I don't know much about them but if someone were to ask me for a recommendation I'd say TMX because it's a fair price (200) for a wheel that works with PC and has 270-900 degress of rotation from what I've heard.
