Hi all.
I'll be taking the plunge on ordering a new wheel in about a weeks time, but I'm running around in circles trying to decide which way to go.
As a lot of play will be done on the PS4, I was basically looking at the CSL Elite or the T-GT.
I had always favoured the CSL, and then I saw the official price of the T-GT which only strengthened that opinion.
But then this noise issue of the CSL became apparent and now I'm back at square one.
Enter the Drive Hub.
So now I'm thinking, stuff it, get the v2.5.
It's better than the CSL, and no noise issues.
Fanatec is back being the strong favourites.
But looking at the rims, again I hit a dead end.
A Formula rim is a no brainer. That went straight onto the list.
But for the PS4 there's basically only 2 choices for a round rim, the rest are X Box.
The BMW rim I just don't like, and while I do like the Porsche rim, I can't get passed the brown leather.
That sounds a bit fussy I know, but for A$600 things like this start to take on more significance.
The alternative is to get the CSL XBox wheel, but I know the CSL PS4 wheel is better.
Plus I'm not sure I could talk them into selling me some Playstation buttons for it anyway.
If only they sold the CSL PS4 wheel separately, this decision would probably be done by now.
So what would you guys do in my position?
Drive Hub, v2.5 base, a Formula rim, and then hope they release the CSL PS4 wheel rim?
Or am I making too much of a fuss about the noise of the CSL Elite base, and just get that with wheel, plus a formula rim?
I realise at this rate I'm now spending just as much, if not more, than I would if getting the T-GT.
And while I am interested in it, it's Fanatec I'm keener on.
If anyone has any thoughts, opinions, alternative ideas, or news regarding Fanatec wheels, I would be more than grateful to hear them.
