If you want force feedback - Probably the Logitech Momo Force wheel.

If you dont - BRD Sim Pro wheel

In either case - BRD Speed 7 Pedals are your best choice for something to
put your feet on

I'm not familiar with these.  Are they better than TSW pedals?  I'm
currently looking for some good replacement pedals for my Logi wheel but
don't want to spend more than about $150US...

$150 US will buy some plastic shit, you gotta spend $400US to get a pukka
wheel....

Anyone using 150US wheels made of plastic, and not tried a solid metal
BRD/hypersim plz refrain from comment :)

Eh?

My $99 MSFFW is 2 years old, is GREAT for GPL, and is built like a tank.
It's never given a hint of trouble.

Others echo my experience.

The only issue I've ever heard about, and that was just in the last 2 days,
was a gent that broke a pedal spring.

You don't have to spend $400 to enjoy GPL, and in fact I suspect that $400
wheel is not force feedback.  GPL is much easier to race with Force
Feedback, and it has one of the best implementations there has ever been.

I personally like force feedback. No Dave I have not tried the metal pedals
but I would like to. I have raced with you several times and if you say it
is that much better then that is all I need to hear. I think an excellent
combo would be the BRD seven pedals and the Logitech momo. I wonder how the
momo wheel compares to a TSW or a BRD?  Dave?

Wouldn't dream of commenting. BTW the money I saved by NOT buying a
BRD/hypersim was enough to buy a 250cc kart.

Zoom zoom.

The Momo in good enough, and it's made with lots of metal!

It's light years ahead, using micro processors to communicate with the
software and reproduce a realistic racing experience. While TSW use two
springs and BRD use a lump of *** hose. HA! Someone tell 'em it's the
21st century FFS! <g>

David I agree that the BRD are much better. The problem is the price. The
price may even be a fair one based on the complexity of the build and the
workmanship along with the number sold. I just wish there was a quality
pedal unit that was not quite as much.

2nd hand, UKP2500. That's about the same as a fully loaded hyper.
