I'm modding some wheels and can get some to about 2-3 times their stock FFB strength via PSU bumps, Motor swaps, drive ratio and other changes. This is measured at the hand position as torque. I'm wondering if there might be a list of the different consumer and boutique wheels and what their actual FFB torque came out to be. I came across some informal tests here and there indicating low to mid single digit lb-ft. Like 3-7 lb-ft for certain common wheels and high end wheels.

Thanks for any information you can share or point me towards.

Try f-wheel blog. There was posted results of CSW, T500RS and many others. T500RS currently the strongest and fastest if I remember right. CSR elite matches speed of the T500RS but strength is not the same. CSW is slower than most with heavy BMW wheel but fast with F1 rim.

If you are a iRacer there is a great thread on FFB, at the iracing.com website.
 
Can you post the objective tests you have done? Which wheels have you modified and what have you done to them? It would be great to compile the data here with some photos or maybe videos of the different devices showing the measurement techniques used.

I will be watching

PM sent.
 
So I checked iracing…see the "wheel check" thread for those who'd like such data. No real surprises. You can certainly boost various wheels past any "name" commercial wheel. But you'll need to be able to do motor swaps and related mods.
