I would like to buy a FF wheel and have decided to go for one of these wheels because with all the reviews, they are the 2 best FF wheels on the market. The only problem is that I can not decide which wheel to go for. From what I hear both have advantages and disadvantages. How do they compare with the amount of Force? Has Act Labs finally fixed the problem with there pedals? Any comments would be appreciated thanks.

I have been in the same dilemma. I think I have settled for the Act Labs because of the shifter and the module to turn it into a PSX wheel - I do a bit of Gran Turismo 2 when I don�t feel up GPL. Also I have read here that the FF is very good in the Act Labs. BR Thomas Soerensen (Thomas180573) GPL Enthusiast of Denmark Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

If you can wait about 3 weeks I'll have a Shoot-Out review on these two units. I've used the Ferrari wheel for a month and am now testing the Force RS. Slot "Rat" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I am leaning towards the Act Lab also. There support is outstanding.. Being a big Ferrari fan I am in a real dilemma on which wheel to get, that logo on the center of the wheel makes my heart pump like mad. [email hidden] wrote:

Some Ferrari wheels came through with a trimmer out of adjustment. Their QC department is aware of this and is taking care of it (or has already). I've written a How-To article with pics on some fixes and modifications. It can be found here: http://home.maine.rr.com/deroy/ferrari.htm Slot Mrv wrote in message <[email hidden]>...
