The G25 is top of the line.
It's an 11" leather wrapped, metal wheel, with 900 degree steering, metal pedals, and a 6-speed gate shifter.
The force feedback and amount of wheel travel are adjustable in the control panel.
I keep mine set to 360 degrees, which gives the wheel 180 degrees in each direction before you hit any major resistance.
You can also use the control panel to set the wheel to self-center with an adjustable amount of "spring" tension.
The Driving Force Pro is the next step down.
It still has the 900 degree steering, but only has an up/down shifter, and has plastic pedals with only a gas/brake setup.
It's still worlds above the other guy's offerings, and is much more affordable than the G25.
The Driving Force EX is the next step down.
This is where they start feeling really cheap.
It has about 200 degree steering, and the force feedback is really cheesy compared to the other two.
The nice thing about these is that they are compatible with with older Playstation games because they have a PS1 connector on them.
All three of these have clamps, but the ones on the G25 twist tight, and then push into the body of the wheel, so they are less visible.
Another push on them pops them back up, so that you can twist them off when necessary.
The carpet grippers on the G25/Driving Force Pro are really nice.
The ones on the Driving Force EX are not as good.

what is GGG?

OK, you haven't heard of GGG ...
Some explanation may be in order.
GGG sell the TurboTwist 2 (TT2) spinner, for which a steering wheel accessory is available.
The steering wheel is available in 5, 6, or 7 inch diameters. The wheel doesn't need affixing to the spinner, as it's held in place through its own weight. The wheel can therefore be easily removed when not in use.
Hope that helps. :)

Does anyone know if the GGG steering wheels can connect to other spinners, such as the Tornado? I'd rather not change my spinner if I don't have to.

First, what model logitech wheel are you using? I havent seen one with clamp fasteners - only suction cups. But I do have the lip on the front of my panel so this should work for me. I assume this connects via USB to the PC and your analog pedal mount is on the floor connected to the steering wheel?
Second, I also use Maximus Arcade as my FE and was wondering where you got the mame emulator picture? I would prefer that one to the standard LCD computer monitor with Smash TV on it.
Thanks

this link will help answer questions about the steering wheel, it's what gave me the direction i took with mine:
Also, I got the image, and others from the maximusarcade website. There is a forum there for people who change the front end visually. There is a post there with a lot of different images and how to get them added.

So where does the Logitech MOMO racing wheel fit into these categories? Logitech's website only has the G25 and this MOMO wheel listed (under the PC gaming section). Is the Driving Force Pro only for PS 2 and 3?
The G25 is way too expensive so with that one out of the equation, which one would you select (assuming you didnt already have the G25)?
Thanks
