I am looking for a racing wheel right now. I would want just a standard racing wheel and pedals for <$50 preferably. I will go over a little if it will make that big of a difference. I am in the US and Amazon would be preferable.

That's an extremely low budget for a racing wheel.. With that budget, you're buying some cheap plastic with a USB cable coming out of it.

 

Here's a search on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=racing+wheel&sprefix=racing+wheel%2Caps%2C386

 

In the first couple pages, there's like.. maybe 3 racing wheel's under $50? However, they are all trash. Every single one of them.

 

A good guideline is this: Logitech is not known for high-end peripherals. And I'm pretty sure the cheapest, or at least most decent that Logitech makes is well above $120.

And again.. That's just Logitech, which makes some of the cheaper racing wheels, period.

Ok then, what would be a good and relatively cheap racing wheel?

Yeah, for the price, that Thrustmaster is actually very good.

 

At that price, being a Thrustmaster, I would snatch it up right away. Good find.

Logitech Momo if you can find one. If that Thrustmaster has decent turning circle then its good also. You really don't want to have <90* turning circle which is like 45* to each side.
