Right now I'm using a TM Nascar Pro, but the fact that the pot gives out too
much, and the pedals have problems, I'm looking to buy a new one. I was
wondering what is the best in the $100-$175 range? I was thinking Logitech's
Formula Force wheel, but I don't know what to buy. Force feedback isn't a
must, but it would be nice to have. Any suggestions?

Yeah, instead of spending $100-175 every year or however long these
plastic wheels are lasting you, splurge and buy a TSW. The one im
looking at i was quoted $335 without shipping charges. It may not have
FF but it'll last along time.
I use a Nascar pro right now as well. Just replaced the wheel pot and
tightened up the gas pedal (was a little loose) It feels like new
again but i want something that will last.

Hi The Dude,

I just bought a Logitech Formula (Yellow) to replace my TM Nascar Pro. I was
happy with it for the two years since i bought it, but i got tired of
changing pots, springs, etc...

I must say that the Formula wheel is much better than my old one although
the pedals takes some getting used to. When in the pits, i turn the wheels
it is so smooth unlike that jerkiness the TM was doing with them.

My $ 0.02....

I bought a Logitech Formula wheel (no feedback) for $54 at some shopping
site, to replace my TSW. I love the wheel. I especially like the paddle
shifters, and the programmable buttons on the wheel. I don't have to take
my hands off the wheel to hit F1, or F2 or all those other F keys now.
The pedals do take some time to get used to.

I've been using a Logitech FF wheel (Red), for about 9 months, and it's
still like new. The pedals do take awhile to get used to (espically for
GPL), but it just takes time. I have no complaints at all on this wheel. I
have not used the Microsoft wheel though.

CompUSA is closing out it's private wheel, (I think it is a CH
product) and selling them for less than 5 dollars US.
