Not much choice available in FF wheels. Logitech Driving Force Pro (also
works on the PS2) or Logitech Momo Racing (black) are the most common
choices and they both cost approximately the same (150? here).
I had both: started with the Momo Racing, this wheel suffers from a cronic
pedal calibration problem. After a few months it happened to me also so I
bougth a DFP and eventually got a refund for the Momo.
My feelings about them are best summarized as follows: the Momo looks much
nicer (all those Playstation buttons on the DFP really ruin its looks) but
the DFP drives better (a very precise wheel and great Force Feedback).
It seems the DFP also suffers from the same pedal problem but in the 2
months I've had it I did not see it happening yet.
To complete the story: I ordered BRD Speed 7 pedals that arrived last week
and was able to re-use my old Logitech Momo Force (red) whose pedals had
broken. That's a killer combination!
I bought one and had to return it. After clamping the two front clamps down
(they only extend back about an inch) the second I touched the wheel it
instantly rotated downward and fell off the desk.

I like the Logitech Driving Force Pro. Although it has the Playstation
buttons, it is nice to have so many on the wheel.
Setting up different lock (rotation values) per car (or sim) give yet
another different feeling to each car. You can really work on getting
your shuffle/hand-over-hand or whatever steering style you use down. I
like driving auto cross layouts in LFS in the slow street cars for a
good hand coordination steering exercise :).
My comments are only for the wheel. I use my own pedals and shifter. I
do use the shifter on the wheel, but only as 2 extra buttons.
I had the momo for 4 months and couldn't figure out why everyone hated that
wheel until it finally happen to me.
First thought was the pedals were losing calibration as everyone ***ed
about. I istalled the new drivers tried all the fixes and nothing worked. I
was only getting 50 to 80% power. So I cracked open the pedals to see what
was going on. After trial and error I found that when I pressed down on the
gas pedal the pot would lift up out of the slot it's seated in. Which was
only giving me half power.
The first fix was Duct tape. I taped that *uker in place so it wouldn't move
and sure enough I was back at 100% power and never lost calibration or power
since.
Last fix was super glue along with a strip of duct tape to hold it place.
All is working good. The pots are still cheap and wish I could replace them.
