Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Your Xbox One Racing Experience with the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel by Ameen Bethea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great driving solution for the price

My kids ordered 2 of these for Xbox racing games like Forza. We were immediately struck by the satisfactory quality of workmanship - the solid weight of the steering wheel, grips, a pleasant click when shifting gears. The guys were looking for entry-level performance and didn't want to splurge on all-wheel drive options. This set of handlebars and pedals lived up to those expectations. Other posters mention the lightness of the pedals: because they are portable and not attached to a chair or frame, the pedals can slide or be lifted when actuated. But my boys didn't have a problem with that as they used rubber dumbbells (like the 7-8 pound dumbbells in our common room) to strengthen them. This was a ready made solution, they slip on, they are easy to move around when not in use and they offer some foot comfort. In general, steering, braking, and shifting are imperfect at times, but that's due to in-game drag, specific cars, etc., not dissatisfaction with the steering wheel. Overall, we were able to pick up any of these road wheelsets for around $80-$90 each, making this a satisfying riding solution at a reasonable price. We recommend it. If you think this set of road bikes won't satisfy you then you're probably looking for the next price tier and we just didn't want to go there.

Pros
  • Forza's most popular racing wheel!
Cons
  • Vulgarity
