Whats a good steering wheel to buy ?

With the release date for GP3 fast approaching (I hope) I have decided to
get a steering wheel to use with it, Can I have some views on what are the
best ones on the market, and anywhere in the UK where I can purchase them
from.

thanks in advance

I second that...Im in the market for an entire new setup as Im moving to a
new ba***t office and want a real wheel now that I have the room. Any
suggestions or reviews?

I really like the look of the Thomas formula wheels but for $800+ I cannot
afford one. I would like something with strong pedals, sleek design and USB.

I would like forced feedback but Ive found that some games ignore the my
global ff setting (off) for my interact wheel and enable ff anyway. I really
hate playing some games with ff on and hate it when they don't give you a
menu option to turn it on/off in the game.

OH - and how about a nice new office seat/chair?

$800?? You can get a very nice TSW2 from Thomas Enterprises for only $220
and it'll last longer than 25 plastic wheels and then some!

TSW's start much less than that, i think around $250-300
