www.tomshardware.com has a roundup of a bunch of wheel.

Please give us more info. How much do you want to spend? Are you going to play any other racing games? Do you have racing ps2 games?

The main thing is how much you want to spend. If money is no object, get the act labs wheel with clutch and shifter. If you can spend a bit but dont want to waste too much I'd get the logitech momo force, $135. If you want to spend less there are some fairly good force feedback wheels for around $70-100. If you dont even need force feedback then you can probably find a wheel for $20-30.

I plan on buying the momo force soon as i am a big fan of racing games. It can be used with a ps2 also so i can play gt3 and f355 challenge with it. On pc i will probably play cmr3, grand prix 4, porsche unleashed, grand prix legends, and probably more. Because I will use so many games with it and like racing games so much i can easily justify spending more to get the quality for a wheel like that.

Thanks for the link
I looked throught the review and I'm gonna get the M$ Force feedback one. I can get one for $100, which is the max I wanna spend for one.

For $100 I like the MS-FF, but I'd take a real hard look at the Logitech Momo. I think it has a much more accurate feel than the MS-FF, and the pedals are much better.

Motor City Online? I didn't think that was still going? Is it?

Yeah, a friend of mine showed it to me like 2 weeks ago. It looks a little old, but I really love muscle cars :D

the newer momo doesnt look bad either. I myself am going with the older more expensive one, but tomshardware had a pretty good review on the newer cheaper one. There is a stick mechanism so that might be more fun too. For me, f1 paddles are fine.
