Advantages: Sturdy design, rubberised grip, force feedback Disadvantages: pedal problem
II recently purchased the Logitech Momo Force Feedback racing wheel from www.scan.co.uk (previously reviewed by me on Ciao) for £65 (excluding p&p). The price has gone up slightly now though.
I have found this wheel to be, in general, much better than my old wheel - the Guillemot Race Leader Force Feedback - which stopped working after I got Windows XP, and the Thrustmaster Modena wheel which I have reviewed previously on Ciao.

The wheel has the following features:
Designed by MOMO - MOMO is one of the world's leading designers of steering wheels and automotive accessories, for the track and the street - look out for their name in Michael Schumacher's Ferrari Formula One car.

Advantages: Well made, cheap Disadvantages: lack of rotation may bother some.
This wheel is a good starter for anyone wanting to get into the big world of Simulation Racing, or good for maybe your kids to have a blast. The wheel itself is easy to use and comes with a good set of pedals. All your standard Playstation buttons are on the front of the wheel, aswell as a couple of shifter padles on the back.

Very easy to install, all you need to do is plug it in and your ready to go.
The best thing about this wheel though, is the fact that it works on PC! This means you can not only have great fun on the Playstation, but you can play fully realistic Simulations ...
Advantages: Wide array of features - gear stick, paddles, force feedback, brake and accelerator peddles Disadvantages: Can be time consuming to set up, compatibility problems on dated systems/games
Steering wheels are the ultimate accessory for any racing game enthusiast. Unfortunately they can also be a real pain to set up. I got this wheel two years ago to use with some of the rally and formula 1 racing games that I own.
Performance wise its the best wheel I've ever used. It has very responsive pedals and good powerful force feedback from the wheel (it has its own power supply for feedback). Also if you're into gear changing then there's the option of either the gearstick or gear-shift paddles behind the wheel. Personally I found the gearstick a bit awkward to use on games but the paddles behind the wheel are really comfortable and easy to use.
The main problem I have found with this game is compatibility although these problems may only be unique to my system ( a Win 98 pII 400mhz ). I was generally able to get the wheel ...
