Can anyone recommend a good racing wheel for Nascar Racing 2k2?

I just bought the game for my WinXP PC and I love it. Problem is I can't stand using the keyboard. This game was made for a wheel in my mind. So I'm hoping I can get some feedback on a good/very good racing wheel (USB or other) I can get that is WinXP compatible. Under $200 is my range. Thanks in advance.

The Logitech Momo is right at 200 bucks, and an excellent wheel. It is USB. I am using it with Win XP Home. You can probably find it on sale somewhere online for around 160 bucks.

I also would have recommended the ACT Labs wheel, untill I spoke to a friend tonight who bought the ACT a month ago. His pedal allready broke. Then I checked out the ACT forum and noticed that he wasn't the only one with this problem. ACT is very busy with sending spare parts to all their customers now it seems :-/ Andre

I agree with these guys - The MOMO and the Act Labs are the two best.

Do not buy a thrustmaster... Xp support sux dog snot. I say you can find a Microsoft FF wheel at Wal-Mart for about $150 (us) or less (SAM's club here has em for <99.) Many people just shut off FF when racing 2002, many don't. I bought a non-FF version on ebay for 35 or so shipped. seen em as low as 50 for the FF version. Some like em, some dont, I love mine and after 6 TM's wheels in 4 years, these are great, and lot longer lasting wheel!

BestBuy had the MSFF on sale last week for $69.99. Don't know what price it is now though. -- Fester "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

Regualr price is $129.99 Last week's sale was $99.99 with a $30 rebate to get to the $69.99. My local CompUSA has them for $99.99 regular price. I'm not sure if its a Best Buy rebate or a Microsoft rebate or not. MadDAWG

Love my Act Labs Force RS but he performance pedals will pop you over two hundred. The standard pedals are horrible, the performance pedals excellent. Go figure.

Makes it very hard to feather the throttle. Tim Wortman North American Simulation Series www.nasscar.com

ACT is very busy with sending spare parts > to all their customers now it seems :-/ My pedals broke and I now use the MS wheel. The ACT labs wheel has strong effects, but at least my unit, has a pure crap response curve. NOT LINEAR, too quick. The MS wheel dropped my Sears point lap times by one second mostly due to the ACT labs pedals quick response curve (spin tries very easy on accel, lock inside front very easy on braking). I took apart the pedals and "fixed" the stickyness of the pedals for the most part. I also was "twitchy" with the ACT labs wheel. I generally had the steering ratio set quite slow to compenstate and had the linearity at about 95%. With the MS wheel I use 100% linearity, and the steering ratio is about 8x faster than I used with the ACT labs. For the bad response curve, I would not reccomend the ACT labs wheel. Now. In 4x4 Evo the ACT labs wheel kicked ass with the super strong effects.

Thats really a ripoff. I would have went that way I think if I could have done the credit on the original pedals but instead I chose Momo. I really liked the idea of the clutch and shifter though with the RS. Brad
