Default GTR2 + PC Steering Wheel

Has anyone ever heard of this before? I saw a "review" on x-play, if you've ever seen the show you would know why I have quotes around review , and it looked like a pretty good game, and its only 20 bucks.




I'm on a mac, but its a newer one (like 1 month old) so I can run windows on it, and now I'm trying to find a steering wheel for my computer. I really wish I could get this:

but at well over $200 its a little pricey, even if I were to split the cost with my brother. Does anyone know of any good PC wheels?

1) i hear GTR is a great game and very very realistic, blowing gran tourismo and
forza out of the water.

2) i would recommend any logitech controller or accessory i have bought many
of their products and i have never had a problem with any of them. i have a
lot of respect for the company.

it's a tough call spending that much money on a video game. i bought the gran tourismo racing wheel when gt4 first came out and i have really enjoyed it ($175 + game). I have a feeling this game would be great especially if you have a multiple monitor setup.

I hope this helped.

Looks like a really good game. Does the game only have supercars, or is there a large variety like in the GT series?

My next racing game will probably be Gran Turismo for PS3 when it comes out. Probably going to buy a racing wheel too.

I seriously recommend GTR to any racing fan. It's the best racing simulator out there. And as such, every racing sim should be played with a racing wheel. The Logitech G25 is an excellent wheel, but I've heard it has some bugs.

I own the Logitech DFP which I use to play GT4, and I use it to play the demo.
Will get the full game once I clean some crap on my laptop.

ok, well I went out and got the game, but I still don't have a wheel, and I'm not going to install windows until I get a wheel.

Are there any decent cheap wheels out there just to see if I like the game enough to go $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a good wheel?

About $50 for the Logitech FF, but no 900 degree.
