Simply the most bang for your buck ...
I sponsor the Old Sarge Racing Team in Project Torque, with more than sixty members, and monthly award two of these wheels to my most improved drivers. So far I've bought a total of eight of them, most coming from Amazon when they're in stock and a couple more from Beach Audio, The recording Store and The Price Pros, all reliable Amazon affiliates. I'll buy one more tomorrow and another the first of next week. All have arrived promptly and all of them are still working hard. My personal wheel has more than 35,000 in-game miles over a period of some six months and still looks and feels new. The other seven drivers who've received them have also piled up mile after mile with no failures and no problems.A couple of reviews I've seen mention the limited turning radius and claim that this is a shortcoming compared to the Logitech G-25s and G-27s. Actually, that's the biggest virtue of the wheel. In ninety degree or greater turns, you have to cross your hands over at least once...

I was amazed!!!
First, let me say that I am new to racing games. I have played the Need For Speed Series, but that is really it. A friend of mine mentioned that the Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Racing Wheel was compatible with Dirt 2 on the PS3. I contacted Thrustmaster and sure enough, it is! They said that Codemasters had worked with them to get their wheels tech programmed into the game. I was sold. I bought the F430 and Dirt 2. I WAS AMAZED at how comfortable this wheel is. Make no mistake, this wheel is as sturdy a wheel as I have ever used. I tried to play some games on teh Xbox 360 using the Microsoft wheel and when my palms sweat (which was often due to my n00b status), my hands would slip. On the Thrustmaster F430 wheel, the grip is a VERY high quality rubber that meant ZERO slipping when my hands got sweaty. I was also very impressed with the responsiveness of the force feedback. I got to the point where I could tell I was in control and driving the right line, simply by how the...

You won't regret it!
I bought this Ferrari wheel because of the price (the G25 was over $200 all around the web) and that was the best thing I did!The wheel is rock solid, metal made with rubber cover around the wheel itself, the gear paddles are made of metal too as well as the pedals.The wheel has a good grip, good quality and even it's 270 I can't complain! Works perfect for my F1 races online with rFactor.And the Manettino was a nice surprise, I can configure a lot of different settings for it, it really helps while in the middle of a race and you need to change some setup or driving aid for your car.That's the best you can get for the price, why pay more and have a similar product when you can own this superb piece of hardware?That's the best for the bucks and after all, it's a Ferrari! Your friends will be impressed with the horse logo in the middle of it.I recommend!
