    I used an ECCI - shipping weight is over 70 pounds, it came in three largish boxes, and it took me a couple of hours to assemble it. It's all steel and built like a tank.

      I am looking into buying a steering wheel for PC gaming as my car is taking a beating :sigh: (besides a certain lady told me to keep my racing of the roads and in the game). I am looking at this particular model (Logitech Momo) http://www.salameander.com/uploads/logitechmomosteeringwheel.gif[^] , anyone have used it before...? any suggestions? I had a look at the G25 but it seems a bit expensive.

      I have been using Saitek R440 for about 4 years. I still dont have a single complaint. All parts work fine, no driver issues ..etc. Force feedback is exceptional. Some users may find 180 degree turn rate a little bit low but I believe it is more than enough. If you can search for some pictures you will see that pedal design is also different than most of the wheels. (Its like more of a real pedal.) I have bought around 80$ in the past but dont know current price. Hope this helps. P.S. Try with Colin Mcrae Rally for full performance :) :cool:

          :laugh: now that is what I need ;P It probably costs more than supercharged BMW E36 M3 and 2 years worth of fines...

            Dam cool looking, and I'm sure it feels brilliant, but $989 for a wheel without force feedback. Seems a bit odd.

              promise me it doesn't have a USB drive on it, and maybe I can order one at work... ;)

                It's built to last. I used mine for three years *every day* and I've never had to replace anything. Most of the plastic wheels available are lucky to last six months.

                      Weird, except for the buttons in the center it looks just like the steering wheel that came with my Subaru.
