Default Ferrari Forceback Steering Wheel

Hey board members,

I've been looking for a new force feedback steering wheel and I spied a Ferrari liscenced one on Ferrarishop. Anyone know if other F1 or car manufacters have officially liscensed wheels?

Here is the item in question:

I have that wheel and its a good product. Very robust, strong FF, huge grip, but If I was you, I would go with the MOMO Racing, or MOMO Force(if you can find one).


As for the Logitech 900degree wheel, its sure interesting, but its ugly as hell. If I was going to get it(which I will), Ill have to change the actual wheel on it. Wait for the next PC wheel from Logitech, Im sure their next wheel will also feature 900degrees.

Yeah I was looking at the MOMO FF Wheel. Plenty of stores carry them around here. Seemed pretty solid. The shifter on the right of the wheel is alright, if kind of lame. I just want something of the utmost quality, with a good paddle system, FF, and of couse pedals. I do like the leather trimmed MOMO wheel by Logitech!

Also, it seems like Thrustmaster's site isn't working. They're still in business I hope? They've made good products in the past!

Also it appears Thrustmaster's Ferrari wheels have been discontinued. Just read it on Amazon.com

Hi, I have had the Ferrari FF steering wheel 3 years and it work very well. I bought it for my PC and as such came with both serial and usb connectors. I tried the wheel with my PS2 and it work perfectly well. The force feedback is strong and works well with GT3 on the PS2.

I woudl recommend it.
