    Can anyone recommend a good steering wheel at an affordable price?

    Logitech Driving Force GT is good, works with PS3 and PC, two pedals and a sequential shifter as well as paddles. €115 from Argos but may be cheaper elsewhere.

    Logitech G25 is an excellent wheel, clutch pedal and sequential or H pattern shift as well as paddles and there should be plenty of cheap second hand ones out there as it's been replaced by the G27. I haven't tried the G27 myself but it looks the nuts.

    Plenty of others out there but those are the only two I've tried, are you on PC PS3 or Xbox?

    Had one of the a few years back, used it for NFS Underground 1&2, Crammonds GP4 and some other I can't remember. Paddles were quite small from what I remember but had no other complaints.

    Like poster said, G25 is what you want....it's incredible.

    Has been replaced too, so will be cheap enough.

    I've got Logitech Wingman formula force GP.
    And old steering wheel which I got nearly 8 years ago, but it still works perfectly.
    Pretty basic, 2 pedals, and gear paddles by the wheel, but I'm using it almost entirely for playing Richard Burns Rally and for that game this wheel is perfect.
    Also I went through good bit of abuse when I used to play RBR all night long with my friends on weekend, and it still works perfectly - so logitech quality is good IMO.

    I tried using G25 for RBR but unfortunately it wasn't so great for this particular game.

    I just wrote a quick small wheel/pedal guide. Take a look for more info.
