I'm looking the get a stearing wheel and peddles (hopefully I can use them for vehicles in PC based FPS games) But I'd like to try PC based driving games too.
What are the best wheels and peddles out there, and why?
Thanx!!
Enjoy!

I don't know but if you are going to Google them try steering wheels and pedals. ;)

Ooops... sorry about the spelling. I was looking more for personnal recommendations. I could just go down to best buy and throw some money down, but I'd like to have a good chance of getting a wheel that will work well instead of one that just got good professional reviews (I have been burned too may times by professional reviews). (I will re-search the threads using the proper spelling, however).
Enjoy!

I work at SCEA in SD and recently when Gran Turismo 4 for PS2 came out, all my bosses were playing it all day long. Logitech made a steering wheel specifically for GT4. I believe it works on computers as well, but not xbox (no usb). The steering wheel has a 900 degree turn making it easier than ever to drift. Ive personally used it on GT4 and NFS Underground 1 & 2. The force feedback is unparalelled. If your back tires lose traction on a front wheel drive car, you will know its the back wheels. Thats actually partly GT4, but the wheel is very inteliigent in replicating certain feelings that you get while driving. Mostly thru the steering wheel obviously. Pedals coem too, just a brake and accel, no clutch. Heres a link: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2250,CONTENTID=7226

Best wheel on the market right now. Nothing else has the 900 deg.

I have been looking at that same 900 degree wheel but I noticed several variants on "game must provide support..." in the attendant literature.
Right now I 'm thinking MOMO or the Nascar wheel... anyone got any thing good or bad to say about 'em?
Enjoy!
