wheel selection

[devestatoor]

I want to get a wheel for gt. So anyone have any suggestions other than the g27? I know its a great wheel but I want to know all available options and stuff

Depends how much money you want to spend?
Thrustmaster T500 RS: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/18/thrustmaster-t500-rs-review/

Plus the additional shifter: http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-TH8RS-Gearbox-PlayStation-3-6306200/dp/B005QIO40S

There you are looking at atleast $600 US..

That's too much for me. I meant something in the same price range of the g27 or a bit less. But not something too cheap or bad

Than for that price, The G27 is the best wheel. You can go a step lower with a G25 or DFGT, but between these 3 and the other wheel I sent links to earlier, I would not stray from purchasing one of those 4.

I will see then. Thanks a lot!

The G27 or any of the Logitech wheels are decent entry level wheels. I started on a borrowed DFGT then bought a G27 which I used for almost a year before I spent the money for a Fanatec.

Looking back, I wish now that I'd waited until I had enough saved to buy the Fanatec or a Thrustmaster from the start instead of wasting a year on the G27. If you are not sure you will stay in sim racing (don't waste money on a good wheel if all you want to do is play GT5/6) then go with the G27 or one of the other Logitechs.
