What wheel will you use/ recommend for GT Sport?

Howdy all,
Long time player of the GT series, but never played with a wheel. For GTS I plan to invest in a wheel, however I want to invest in a complete setup. Essentially, I'd like to have a wheel with a stick shift module (shirt pedals are a last resort if not possible) and pedals with an active clutch system. Ive researched abit and found a few different models, but none that are all together or might not be compatible together. What wheels are the rest of you using, and what would you recommend for what I want to build?

 

Probably need more info. Most importantly, what's your budget?

 

Great topic @The1WingAngel

Personally, I would like the circular wheel with the largest diameter. Will that require that I buy the base/wheel/pedals/shifter separately?

 

Possibly, I know Fanatec are soon to announce some new wheels for their wheel bases so might be a good idea to wait and see what they announce before making a decision.

 

Fanatec wheel support in GTS still hasn't been announced, though, right? :/

 

I don't even know if should buy a wheel anymore, the content in this game is so underwhelming.

 

will use my fanatec gt2 in combination with cronusmax plus - worked great in the beta

 

Thanks so far. Space is not too much of an issue as I plan to build the base and frame complete with a racing chair. Budget wise I'm around $500 +/- for the complete set.

 

I'm very satisfied with my T300 GTE, T3PA pedals, TH8A shifter. Afterwards I also bought the 599xx and F1 wheel separate. 599xx most used now. Larger diameter and good (alcantara) grip. Only extra add on for me would be Bodin brake load cell (if available) or more expensive Fanatec pedals and you have to add an extra convertor.

Choose the Thrustmaster also because of the possibility to change the rims.

For $500 you can buy a nice set!

 

I bought a T300RS GTE for GTS. I tested it with AC and it's pretty solid IMO.

I wished the break pedal had some room for lateral adjustment but other than that, I'm happy with it.

 

That's not a huge budget so I would go the DIY route on the rig if you can. My First rig was DIY.



The seat cost me around $50 of ebay and I spent another $50 on materials to build the rig. That would leave a decent amount to spend on a wheel which really should be where you spend most of your budget if you can.

I've owned all sorts of wheel over the years from budget to high end and the extra money you spend really is worth it. Not only because they are built better and are likely to last longer but it does add to the experience.

 

Currently I'm still on PS3/GT6 using a Driving Force GT wheel and very happy about it. Sadly I have to sell it because its not PS4 compatible.
I'll get a Thrustmaster T150 RS for GTS, you dont need more than that if you have good skills. If you are bad you'll do bad even with the most expensive ones.

 

You're talking about lap time and you're right,but people who buy expensive steering wheels are looking for a more realistic experience not lap time.

 

You don't need more than that if you have poor skills, totally irrelevant point. However, if you are looking for the most realistic experience a higher end wheel will give you that.

 

Oooh wait I thought (might be wrong assumption) he meant $500 for the wheel/pedal/shifter set. If it is for the complete set including the seat/frame then is your DIY indeed a great solution!

 

Meh, I dont think its worth it, since to get a remotely realistic experience you will need a motion rig which is crazy expensive.

 

Mine wasn't that expensive. However, once again you make a terrible point. Not having a motion rig is much less realistic than having one, that's obvious. However, having a more expensive wheel in your hands that transmits more and better ffb to your hands is more realistic than a cheaper, less well built wheel that doesn't transmit as much ffb or do it as well. That is also obvious.

 

It can be twice as expensive but not twice as good. I think the T150 is a better value for money

 

I don't. It's immaterial however as the OP has told us what the budget is so the OP's decision how much they want to spend, not mine or yours.

 

Let's compare T150 with T300 which is twice as expensive.T150 has abour 2Nm torque T300 has abour 4Nm.
T300 rotation speed is also about twice as fast than T150 which is very important during drifting.T150 has dual gear/belt drive mechanism with big internal friction making the force feedback pretty rough compared to T300 which has dual belt drive friction free mechanism which makes the force feedback about twice smoother.Also T150 has 1080° rotation angle with optical reading with 12-bit resolution for 4,096 values on the wheel’s steering axis while T300 has 1080° rotation angle with HallEffect AccuRate Technology, featuring a contactless magnetic sensor which provides 16-bit resolution, for 65,536 values on the wheel’s steering.

 

Good display of numbers! Sadly I dont care one bit about numbers, but about feeling.
I've tried the G29 which is also roughly twice as expensive... the feeling you get is nowhere near twice as good IMO

 

If you want to feel understeer better the wheel must have more torque.If you want to feel the oversteer better/ sooner the wheel must have faster rotation speed. If you want to feel small forces in the force feedback and the wheel to feel smoother the wheel must have less internal friction.If you want to place the car more precisely on track you need higher resolution.Do yourself a favor and try T300 before buying T150.

I completely agree.

 

T150 precision is enough. What matters most is your skill regarding precision. If you are bad you will be bad with any wheel. If you are good you will be good with any wheel (that has FFB I mean). Thats what I've personally seen

 

Invisible steering wheel with H shifter no tv in an empty room, and audio coming from my mouth.



Best steering wheel 10/10 would recommend

 

You don't even really know whats in the game since it is not out yet. Only what you've seen in a very limited beta and some youtube videos. Have faith.
