Still - it just seems you have to either have or go and buy all the stuff to make some of these wheels work, and it just isn't worth it - yet.

The Logitech Force Feedback wheels are the only ones to buy. Others imitate, but they are the best. I had the GT wheel for my PS2 with Gran Turismo 4. The driving experience was 10x more realistic and the force feedback made it feel like you were driving, it gave resistance on hard turns, jiggled when you when over bumps or dirt.

Again, Logitech is expensive but they are the best and handle like a real car.

My Logitech GT was from 2005, it was one of the best at the time (there was 1 that was a step up for $20 more I think). The new G27 adds a clutch and shifter. The potential problem with the G27 is that you need to position the shifter at the right height to make it feel like a car. They have simple stands:
But the shifter is same height as the wheel. The ideal set up is:
But those are quite expensive. There are some home made versions:
You could be more creative and make a spot for the shifter at a lower height. I plan to do something like this since I have an extra race seat that my father-in-law did not use in his drag racing car.
