What Wheel?
Howard_Casto:
I'm a lot newer to this than the other guys, but I've always liked Logitech wheels. Even back in the day the Logitech ones always came with better software, which is much more important than you think. It seems like you get more for your money with the Logitech stuff as well.
Btw on the optical wheel route, I was thinking of converting my wheel to be detachable and putting a shaft for an optical wheel just below my regular one. I actually think you can get the parts to build one from lowes, so if I ever get time I'll throw you guys a tutorial.

I had discounted Thrustmaster for the cost, which is why I was G25/G27. Thanks for your info. Can you tell me on the G27 - can you set it up to be up/down shifter (without using paddles)? i.e. can you set, say the middle gears 3 as up and gear 4 as down without any problems (via mame for instance?). The only reason I'd go G25 is for the up/down switch. It doesn't seem much cheaper if at all second hand and I expect the LED's are cool!

I use the momo wheel. The shifter is attached to the wheel (up/down) but for 4-6 speed games i just map the buttons on the wheel. I paid $40 on CL so I cant complain

The new dashboard for my cab (that was 95% finished, but not installed in the cab) uses a steering wheel quick release for this purpose.
I have most of the parts(and not much of a plan), just haven't gotten around to it.

Steering wheel detaches at 1:35
I picked up some new parts for the 360 degree wheel last week and have been collecting parts to build the same dash for my second cab.
Two other projects to finish first though.
