        All I know is I bought a pretty nice wheel that I was really excited about and I've never really used the stupid thing.
        There is no place like Nebraska
        Dear old Nebraska U.
        Where the girls are the fairest,
        The boys are the squarest,
        Of any old school that I knew.
        There is no place like Nebraska,
        Where they're all true blue.
        We'll all stick together,
        In all kinds of weather,
        For Dear old Nebraska U!

            Thanks TCouch, the reason I ask is because I want a real driving experience and I'm tired of just pushing buttons to shift up or down because it's not that realistic

                how is this?

                Discover the innovative world of Logitech United States and shop everything MX, Mechanical Keyboards, Wireless Mice, Webcams, Headsets, Software, and more


                $100 is all I really want to spend. How much was the one in your first example TC? Is it really $1000?

                    That Logitech one is the one I have, and I love it.

                        Yes, it really is $1000. It lasts forever though. Anything ever breaks, you just have them fix it for free. I've gone through at least $500 in wheels (or more) before I bought it on weak FF motors, tension springs, you name it. I've had about every major wheel out there. Cost is relative depending on how much you use it, and what the investment is worth to you.

                        The Logitech MOMO one is pretty good, but the "black" model is far inferior to the "red" model. I have a red one as well, and the pedal base is all metal...the wheel itself is of better quality as well (my buddy has a black one and can't believe the difference between the black and red models).

                            Yep. Quality and amount of use make the difference.
                            I bought an ECC(Extreme Competition Contols) Wheel A LONG time ago. It was the first month that they came on the market. That wheel was $500.00 back then and I still have it and use it to this day. I've tried other wheels(Logitech, Thrustmaster) and they just don't compare.
                            I think ECC has since gone out of business...but thanks for the link to the Thomas wheel setup. Looks nice!
                            Just curious...why don't you use their shifter? Is it just that the ACT LABS has the pattern?
                            It also looks as if Act Labs no longer has the shifter or pedals(PRO) available. Too bad.
