I'm looking to upgrade to a better wheel than the T2 that I'm currently
using. Importing a Thomas would cost me more than a thousand bucks so
I'm looking to buy a good quality wheel that is made in Australia. Any
ideas, fellow Aussies.
thanks.

A1 Advantage by Ferraro or the Hyperstimulator are both made in Australia.
The Hyperstimulator is a bit more than just a wheel though.

The advantage one is definately high end, $400 bucks I think. It isnt a TSW
though from what I can tell of the pictures of both.

For my money try the Advantage 1 from Ferraro Design in Melbourne. Not
quite the TSW but a great wheel with even better pedals.
try www.ferrarodesign.com.au
I have had one for around 9mths and honestly cannot think of a single
negative issue. Priced around 400AUD (or approx 11.29 USD - LOL).
let me know if you want further feedback from a happy user.

Roy,
Check out www.ferrarodesign.com.au
for the Advantage 1 wheel. Aussie made, and very good quality. But no
force feedback yet. Price is about $399 including postage and
handling. If you're in Melbourne, there's a shop in Camberwell (sp?)
which stocks it.
If you want more realism, go to www.hyperstim.com
and check out the Aussie designed and made Hyper Stimulator. A full
***pit you can sit in, with paddles for gearchanging, or a sequential
shifter like an Indycar, can be tailor made to what you want, or even
for particular games!
Brad Jones, Greg Murphy, Russell Ingall, Frank Biela all use one.
Team KOOL Green has a few, as does the Williams F1 team.

News and Information
I've been using a Ferraro "Advantage" combo since December 1998 and
cannot fault the operation of it. Because the tensioning is by springs,
and not bungee cord, there is a certain "mechanical" sound to it but
that has eased with use. The pots are exceptionally stable and
accurate, the feel of the wheel and pedals is very good. I raised the
pedal unit and also angled it further by about 15 degrees.....feet feel
much more comfortable now.
One thing is for sure.....this will last a lot longer than the plasticky
stuff available and, as a bonus, Jason stands by his warranty.
