Need feedback, info on wheels for nascar2

  Would like pros, cons, and any opinions on wheels. I am currently using a
TM grand prix 1, but plan to upgrade soon.  

  Thanks,

Basically you get what you pay for.  Before you even start shopping or
comparing figure out how much you want to spend.  From there you can
pick and choose.  If you are looking to upgrade from the GP1, and are
happy with Thrustmaster, I would suggest making the leap to the
Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro setup (especially if you can find a good deal
for the wheel).  If you are on a really tight budget there are some
excellent deals on their T2.

There are at least 2 other alternatives (listed in progressive expense):
  o Thomas Enterprises

  o Extreme Competition Controls

  I have the Nascar Pro wheel. It's a nice controller. I've used the T2
and it felt cheap to me (Pedals & Shifter) compared to the Nascar.  But
since you aolready have a wheel, and are upgrading. Im assuming you have
the cash to get the best (could be wrong).. I saw an ad in this months
Computer Life for a Steering wheel with Force Feedback.  It looked
pretty neat, I have no Price range, nor do I have a product name or
manufacturer.  I just know it exists.  Look around, or drop by a mag.
store and look for the ad.
