Been in the market for a sim-racing wheel for ages; just really got into it on GT Sport. (G29 = PS4/PC, G920 = XBOX/PC).

I was trying to hold out for a specific sale but I had to really look around to find something. If anyone knows of any other deals or potential steals please let me know!!!

Harvey Norman is selling them for $328, far by the cheapest I've seen. I went to EB Games Dapto for a price match yesterday but they declined saying the gap was 'too significant'. However, JBHIFI gladly matched Harvey Norman's price.

If you're looking for a shifter with it too … that's the option I went with; JBHIFI sells it in a bundle (online only) for both the G29 and G920 - you'll need to put the shifter and the wheel into your cart, and the discount will be applied automatically, it's online only so you will need to click and collect. I picked mine up for $399 at JB-HI-FI Wollongong, and received confirmation that it's an online only deal and not available in store.

      Yep, apologies.

      Just squeezing this post in before work!

    Hmm i think they were 260 or so a year or so ago. Just wonder if there is gonna be new release for Series X. I mean, i know every peripheral on Xbox One will work on Series X so it shouldnt matter really but u'd want to be sure with such an investment i guess!

      I know right but I couldn't wait … annoyed I couldn't get it cheaper tbh!

  • Duckman on 18/03/2020 - 16:32

    What's the best budget-priced stand for these wheels, does anybody know? Or can they easily attach to a desk (without scratching it up)?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/03/2020 - 16:36

      Check out GT Art X Frame. Great build quality and price.

    • wonderboy4 on 18/03/2020 - 16:37

      I recomend Wheel Stand Pro, they are really good and solid and very quick to setup and packup. I can set up mine in less than 2 minutes.

      It simply clamps onto a table, shouldn't scratch anything unless you torque the hell out of it.

    • bigchungus on 18/03/2020 - 16:56

      I'll be getting the one off of catch https://www.catch.com.au/product/pro-racing-simulator-foldin… but from the sellers website as it works out to be cheaper when postage is included. It comes in folding and non-folding options. https://www.wholesalesuperstore.com.au/home-entertainment/en…

    • Dubsys on 18/03/2020 - 17:12

      these mid-entry level wheels all come with clamps to clamp them to a table, they don't really exert enough force to need anything else.

    • Diji1 on 18/03/2020 - 19:01

      The problem with using a desk is consistency, you can never set it up the same.

      I do sim racing and I think the single biggest improvement came from buying a cockpit with fixed position. Not wheel, pedals and VR although they also helped.

      The reason is you need to develop muscle memory and you never get it without a fixed position because the response is always different.

      It's not a cheap hobby unfortunately.

      • Natsky on 18/03/2020 - 21:33

        Do you mind telling us which cockpit with fixed position do you use?

    • Oz8argain on 19/03/2020 - 09:36

      clamps to the computer desk with no issues.

    For those of us currently missing the suburban traffic - I propose that we each purchase one these, agree on a suitable driving sim and spend half an hour stationery on in a queue, before doing a u-turn and heading home. It's important to keep routines up at the moment, guys.

    Cheaper at Gamesmen ebay for Plus members same link as this

    • bigchungus on 18/03/2020 - 16:53

      Yep, I considered this but I don't have Ebay Plus but I didn't want to wait for the wheel to be delivered (or pay postage if I got it off of their website). So I thought $399 was reasonable as I got it today, whereas if I got it off of gamesmen for $388 with postage ($15 I believe?) it works out to be more expensive, but I think its free postage on ebay. I guess it's down to personal preference at the end of the day

      • onlinepred on 18/03/2020 - 16:56

        The shifter is quite bad. Much better off to save money and not get it.

        • bigchungus on 18/03/2020 - 17:05

          Ooops, oh well. I paid via zip, and they now offer mastercard payment online to your zip so if I wanted to return it id get refunded cash rather than if I paid via giftcard in store (paid via zip) id have no flexibility via giftcard. I was just sick of looking around to be fair.

        • Piranha2004 on 18/03/2020 - 17:34

          Agreed. Only buy if you must have it.

          • bigchungus on 18/03/2020 - 17:46

            @Piranha2004: Should I return it then? Like if I don't need it then I don't see the point - thought id get it for rally games etc. Add a bit of diversity to the setup/functionality of the wheel (I know there are shifter paddles):)

            • Diji1 on 18/03/2020 - 18:57

              @bigchungus: I'm not sure what their problem with the shifter is, I think it's quite good for the price.

              I used to used it as not very effective (because it's not analogue) handbrake for rally games. Not much else to go with if you use the flappy paddles as gear up and down.

  • MaccDogg on 18/03/2020 - 19:44

    Theyve been 278 at HN on pricehipster

    • bigchungus on 18/03/2020 - 23:17

      Yeah, but I can't find anything at that price currently … so frustrated ! ahha
