Well, there's really not much of a "performance" factor in the wheel
itself. The only thing that you can ask of pots are a linear response,
steady reading, and repeatability. Of the three, steadiness is probably
the most important IMO. The higher-quality pots that TSW sells do meet
these criteria, so they are probably worth while.
The only drawback that I know of is that they are 50K instead of 100K
pots. This means that for the range of travel of the wheel and pedals,
they have a more limited range of resistance. This is taken care of in
the calibration routines, but it means that they might be a bit more
sensitive or prone to jitter, especially when they do start to wear
out. Most commercial pots are sort of intended for things like
instrument dials, where you would be turning them maybe a few times a
day -- that's why they wear out when you start screwing them back and
forth constantly in a driving sim!

Before you buy.
Hello...I have medium grade standard pots in my TSW. Does putting the high
grade pots in improve the performance of the wheel on the track or is it
simply an "technical" issue in that they just last longer than the standard
ones?
