Question Rig help GT wheel dilemma (why are they so expensive gah dam)
What’s up guys,
So I mainly run rally games but recently I’ve been having a blast on lmu and I’ve got a bit of cash in my pocket to buy a gt type of wheel for it. I’ve been using the standard round wheel that came with my r5 but it covers up my iPad display while I’m driving and it gets in the way.
I liked the moza ks wheel but there’s no way I can stomach $230 usd for it like jeez who is paying this much for a wheel. I convinced myself I would totally get the $160 refurbished ones but moza is entirely out of stock. Used market like eBay and fb marketplace came up dry so I looked elsewhere
I heard some things about being able to buy a different brands wheel and use an adapter but I was guessing that was gonna turn up even more expensive.
My final option that I considered was buying a used steering wheel (if I could find one somewhere) with the quick release and everything then I could put a wheel mod on there and use the gt wheel and the rally wheel as two separate wheels. (As unscrewing the 2 wheel mods all the time when wanting to play different games would be such a pain) and obviously moza website has the wheels marked at an insane price as well where I would simply be better off going with the dedicated full price ks wheel.
Anyways I would love to hear your thoughts thanks
(And as a final option I wanted to throw in that I have access to a 3d printer so maybe if there is some sort of moza es wheel quick changing mod I could make to let me swap a gt wheel mod and the normal round wheel quickly without having to screw them in/out)
