A good wheel?

[I Love GT6]

Hello,

I found this wheel in a store and I loved it, but is it any good?
The link of it: http://www.thrustmaster.com/nl_NL/producten/ferrari-wireless-gt-cockpit-430-scuderia-edition

I would like some info and how good it is.

Thanks

The G27 is the best wheel for the money.

How much does the Ferrari wheel cost where you are living. Here in US it cost $232.99 USD from Walmart (cheapo store relatviely speaking)

But a new G27 can be had for $150(lucky on Ebay) to $219(Logitech website + VIP promo) USD.

I imagine considerations for shipping if you are in Nederland.
I had a little trouble reading the site you linked because it was in Dutch. But I always believe Dutch was a little German boy having trouble spelling hehe and can atleast do German. So I was able to navigate to the waar te koop page.

I saw it in one place for 189.99 Euros -227USD.

I imagine G27 cost are off the charts in Nederland unfortunately.

Your thrustmaster 430 ($234.40) is $17 more expensive on amazon compared to a G27 ($217.13) on amazon....

^ But keep in mind thats only the American Amazon. Prices are usually different in europe because you tend only find these things in hobby stores or the shipping cost to get to him are overwhelming if he orders online..

I saw it for 90 Euro's in MediaMarkt. The G27 is quite expensive for me.

I would say the best wheel on the market is the T500RS with the F1 add on.


Hefty price tag though. 700 USD

GLAD I got mine early

DFGT you can find refurbished for $80 on ebay. Even cheaper for a used one. I had one since Prologue and it's now at my friends house still going strong. Also it's the only wheel with an on-the-fly tuning dial especially for GT5. 👍 Best bang for the buck, no contest!

$80 plus 20 shipping is about $100, Thats only a wheel right? Do you need a flat and strong surface for it? Its in the livingroom xD

It's wheel and pedals. I used it with a heavy duty tv tray for a long time before I eventually got a purpose made stand. You could look in this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=55048 and get ideas of stuff you could use around your house. Building one yourself is the cheapest option. I personally wouldn't waste money on a stand. It will cost more than the wheel, I've already made this mistake. If you have an expensive wheel thats a different story.

Edit:
If you priced it at $100 for a refurb, then I would check Amazon for brand new. It's showing for $115 where I'm from. A new one includes a warranty so that is always better. If you want to go cheap keep checking eBay.
