Iv'e been looking for a wheel for a while now and I'm not on the highest budget so obviously high end logitechs are out the window. So i'm interested in any suggestions for wheels around the price of £100 give or take. I've seen a few but it is vital it has a clutch pedal included.
Thanks

I was in the same situation only 2 weeks ago, and in the end I went for the Fanatec Carrera Wheel. All I can say about the wheel is.......GREAT! 👍
It came to around £168, and was delivered within 5 days. The extra £68 is well worth it, as you get a H-shifter and Clutch.

IMO, this wheel (and all other Fanatecs) beats any Logitech wheel if you're using it for GT5. It has on the go tuning, and trust me, you can't live without it. The force feedback is very strong and realistic, not as silent as a belt driven wheel, but that doesn't mean to say that it's loud. People over-exaggerate when talking about FFB loudness, this wheels absolutely fine!
The pedal set is fantastic as well.

However, you will need to make a rig for the wheel to mount it properly, to make the most of it, otherwise the FFB will have you all over the place! :lol:
I recommend this design, its cheap and does the job well, I'm working on mine atm.

Have fun! :)
 
I'd love to ask the same question as DriifterzZ, as literally a few minutes ago, my Logitech Driving Force EX which Ive been using for the best part of two years and is an amazing wheel, has just been rendered useless by the fact that the brake pedal snapped! Completly random, and almost unfixable - although I will try.

Now, it's vital that its under £100, just like DriifterzZ requested, as again I'm on a tight budget, and I was able to pick up the DFEX very cheaply on Amazon - sadly they're completly gone from Amazon now, which is a shame, as I'd have simply got a new one to replace this one and be done with it. It's not vital that it has a clutch, in fact I've grown used to not using one. Flappy paddle gears are prefereable, but I dont mind using a stick-shift.

What is vital is that:

a) I don't have to build a full rig to accomodate it. I dont have the space, time or money to be building a full rig, and I've gotten by for years just using the DFEX in my lap with the attachment it has, or strapped to my desk for playing on the PC with it.

b) That leads onto my second point - that it's PC and at least PS2 compatible. I don't have a PS3 yet, so it doesn't particularly have to be PS3 compatible as well, although it is preferable - the bare minimum is that it works for both PC and PS2.

c) Good force feedback is vital.

d) That it's relatively cheap. I know its not always possible to have all of the above AND expect it to cost a pittance, but I managed to find my DFEX for around £30 when I got it on Amazon - it might have been pre-owned, but it was boxed and I loved it all the same. Nothing more than £100 - I know it's a tight budget to have, but that's the way it is for me atm.

Any info would be massively appreciated - I've grown so used to using a wheel, I'm gonna try and get it replaced or fixed as soon as possible. Thanks in advance :)
 
Definitely a Driving Force GT for both of you.
Its an official GT wheel at just 100€/$ ! :D
 
Fanatec Carrera... it costs a little more than your target, probably £150, but it is the only decent lower price wheel with a clutch.
 
You're not going to get a wheel with a clutch for £100. The closest you will find is a G25 2nd hand from ebay for around £150 including delivery.
