If you want one of the ones with the Porsche badges on it without getting insanely expensive, I'd go for the fanatec Carrera wheel.
I don't actually own it, but it sounds like it's equally as good as my DFGT which is phenomenal.
The only issue with the fanatec is their horrendously terrible customer service.
Once they have your money, you're on your own.

thanks gogarts, thats what my sons friends dad said also saw a momo on ebay but i havent heard anything but rubbish about it so, Am I doomed logitech isnt producing anymore DFGTs

They're not?
I think you can get one off of gamestops website for $130.
20 less than what Logitech was charging.

If you can find the Fanatec 911 turbo S wheel for a good price, jump on it. I love this setup with the club sport pedals. Its been great for me. If you cant, im sure any wheel setup is better than the controller. Just my opinion of course.

I agree on the DFGT. Good quality wheel for the price. All the dials work on it and are useful. eBay is a good option, and occasionally a big box retailer will have it on sale. GameStop is more costly. But they're sure to have them. Good luck.

dfgt is available on amazon for $149.99. in stock. (not the best price but you make it sound like they are really hard to find or something).
