Is it a new steering wheel brand?!
What do you think?!
Steering wheel specifications:

·Input Resistance adjustable up to 185 lbs

·Up to 80 lbs of Rebound Resistance

·Fluid Dampening is used to reduce soft spots at top-dead-center and add proper tension while driving straight
The electronics behind the R-Series Pro Wheel includes a high fidelity main-board that allows for 4096 steps of precise resolution. The separate communications board allows the Racing Electronics™ Push-To-Talk button to be connected to your main PC or a separate PC for maximum connect-ability. The high fidelity main-board and additional communications board combined with our tensioning systems translates into smoother lines with less over-steer, more consistent car control and massive mod-able expandability.

Interesting!

I assume it will be PC only, also I wonder how many games this will work on at the moment cause it cant be that many. I'm not bagging on them I'm just curious, and I realize nobody will be able to answer that yet. They dont have this info on their site by the way.

Oh and they could have picked a more glamorous wheel than the one in their photos, they do offer 15 other wheel rims. The one in the photo looks very dated, I know it makes sense because they developed the wheel with some Nascar drivers.
 
Agreed, it would be interesting to hear from someone who had used one. That wheel is absolutely the worst choice, lol. The buttons look like some cheapos also - I've bought the same buttons at Radio Shack in the past - they feel pretty cheap.
 
It's been on the market for four years as far as I can tell. I'm guessing that they're not going to suddenly get a huge spike in sales.

There has also been mentions of it being Sim-Gear under a different name (The SST Lightning deal of the century advertised on the page is a clue as well). There's plenty of barely active sim product makers out there that will likely be either unmotivated or shady. Add a name change into the mix and I know which one my money would be on.
 
I did some more reading and it looks like it's a passive system - no FFB, just an air cylinder and an oil damper to simulate the spring and return to center forces.
