Fortunately Thrustmaster wheels are pretty awsome

There is no technical reason the PS4 and or GTS doesn't support wheels that the previous version of GT supported on the PS3.
I bought a Fanatec wheel for GT5/6 and I was worried at first that it wouldn't be compatible with PCars on the PS4. However WMD and Fanatec made it happen. In fact it's better integrated into PCars than it was in GT5/6.
Like other posters have said. It's all about money and the desire to make it instead of spend it that keeps PS3 wheels from being supported.

Logitech has shown no desire to upgrade older wheels to be compatible on PS4.
Fanatec made it happen by upgrading the firmware on the wheels with the proper software for PS4 support.

I think it'll depend on the G27+2 sales.
If it is selling poorly, they may be open to support of older wheels so they are represented. I imagine PD would push for a higher base of wheel models (which computer games have), the old logitech family being by far the most represented within wheel users.

I'll take a wild punt at there being a GT branded entry level wheel around this time next year. Similar to the T150.

It will probably be the t150, Thrustmaster was the official wheel of GT6

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, maybe a GT badge, slightly different colour scheme and maybe a button change here or there or the inclusion of a shifter... Who knows...
GIMX recently added legacy Logitech wheel support on PS4 with force feedback, by emulation of the G29 wheel.

I doubt it but you never know. The DFGT is an official GT wheel. That's the thing. There might be a contractual obligation that Logitech have to comply with. That's the only way it could happen. That doesn't mean I think it will be compatible though. Anyway the T150 looks pretty good.

Logitech rebranded and touched up the G27 for re-release, I don't see why they can't do the same thing with the DFGT. Same motor, same housing, same basic wheel, add a few buttons and a new badge, slap a $199 price tag on it and it'll fly out the door. The DFGT was about as good a piece of equipment you could get for $99 (that's what I paid in December 2010) so I see no reason why they shouldn't just do a reboot. If the G29/920 is selling well, this should be a no brainer.
Ready for it? No reason to reinvent the wheel here.

Well, it works perfectly so it's not exactly just a gimmick. It's emulating the G29 by utilizing the publically available Logitech force feedback protocol.

here we go again...
We all know by now logitech's security chip story is full of **** and it's up to the developer to support a legacy wheel. Any chance we will see fanatec and other legacy wheel supported in GTS? This will be the single deciding factor for me to consider PS4/future GT. Spending another $300 for a possibly inferior wheel setup then what I have already isn't worth it for one game... On the other hand, I'd gladly spend $60 to try GTS even if it's just so so.

If Fanatec was able to do it for pCARS then, they might be able to do it for GTS. There is no hope in hell for legacy Logitech support as it's G29 or nothing with them.
