    I am looking for a reliable wheel for around the $100-$150 range. I don't really need a clutch or a shifter, just the wheel.

    Also will a Wingman FFB Joystick work?

    Thanks

    Logitech Driving Force GT - Cheap, good force feedback and 900 degree steering. Best budget wheel out there.

    I also would not recommend using a joystick over a wheel - Driving a car in BNG, there is no comparison.

    But that price though. It looks like a great wheel but thats just to much. Is there any others?

    If you drive, try looking on craigslist and the like for a good deal. I found a logitech g27 for 100. It's got great force feedback, strong motors that last, and a 6 speed shifter with a clutch, gas and brake pedal. It also has paddle shifters, but I don't use it, so I made them parking brakes.

    Guys, Idk what it is in my country but second hand wheels seem to be incredibly cheap here. I recently bought a barely used Logitech Driving Force GT for only €50,- ($55)
    And now I found this :O

    description says the wheel is a little sticky though :\

    I went from a garbage madcatz wheel with no ffb to a g25 to a thrust master t500rs. Try to hold out for a deal on a g25. If you can get one for 150 USD it will he a huge difference over a cheaper wheel. The t500rs is more accurate but the g25 is still an accurate wheel and the only reason to pay 550+ for a 500rs over a g25 is feel. Hold out you won't be disappointed.

    I'm assuming that parts of the wheel are rubber? If so, it could be the rubber degrading...
    If used regularly, you wouldn't notice it because it wouldn't have a chance to build up.

    Mostly cheaper than the DFGT , The Driving Force Pro. It's as good as the same wheel. it just looks different. (Better in my opinion)
    Has a sequential shifter and paddles + PS buttons.

    If your not looking for something too good but want to have a wheel, maybe try out the Saitek R440 Force Wheel, I some time ago found one on Ebay which was sent off for 1€+shippong costs IIRC, it's quite old but reliable so I don't think it became much more expensive.
    No external stick, only 90° rotation per side and only two pedals though.

    I have this one, it's inexpensive, and I've used it with many driving simulations and racers. It's really sturdy and reliable, but if you drive cars in real life, the 270 total turning radius may feel super sensitive when you are driving with it.
