Thrustmaster Racing SIM Ferrari 458 Challenge Wheel Add-On (Compatible with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, One, PC) - Universal-Use Review

People complaining about this rim are crazy such a huge upgrade over the stock rim that came with my TX. I mainly use it for racing and Nascar Heat 4. I have a ThrustmasterTM open rim and it's such a good fallback for sim racing outside of Indy and F1.

There is nothing wrong with the quality of the wheel, it is actually a very good wheel. I was more disappointed with the small size of the steering wheel and cheap rubber grips. Thrustmaster has since released a leather version of the 599 that is a more accurate replica of the F458 Challenge wheel.

This is the heaviest of the three TX drives and I was surprised. I thought this was the cheapest, even worse than the stock rim, but it is 100% metal (except for the rim itself) and looks fantastic.

I felt like a little kid showing this wheel off to my wife and daughter so they could feel the weight difference between the stock TX wheel and this GT wheel. Even they were impressed with the quality and helped convince my wife that it wasn't a waste of money. Well, it looks like she's coming to her senses…

In conditions where the wheel can suddenly spin in your hands, the force feedback is strong enough to break a finger. At least one of my fingers was bleeding because of the rough edges of the handlebars. That's why it's a good idea to play with gloves. Luckily, Thrustmaster offers a selection of optional steering wheels that you can swap out…

+ As many know, this wheel is an inch smaller in diameter than the standard GT wheel. This is great for open bars and adds true force feedback response. It's also a bit heavier than the stock bike. In my opinion, this eliminates part of the "notch" of the standard steering wheel. + The shifters and button layout are a huge improvement over the stock steering wheel. "As with all Thrustmaster products I own, they had to save somewhere. This wheel seems to creak and creak for everyone. Here's what
