It’s small but all the wheels of this category are. Otherwise it’s pretty nice and the materials are comfortable to use for extended periods of time

I bought this with the TS-PC racer base and it works extremely well. It's lightweight but durable and the suede is really cool. The software was easy to set up and works great. Gonna be using this for a long time

Quite simply the quality is good overall of all the built material, the paddles are large and responsive with a good light feel to them. It is comparable to the quality of the Sparco P310 Mod for example. Having more button close to the top is appreciated and they are responsive but still have a good click feel to them as feedback for activation. The D-Pad feels more natural with the thumb too. Finally, the rim itself is soft with good grip when held but would slip well if used for rallying move.Of all this the main important item especially for T818 owner is you do not need an adapter with this wheel. Which bring a few benefits and the first one is reduce noise and torquing coming from the adapter as the connector directly attach to the wheel center now. If you have another classic base, then the other module is there too. Attach the specific cable, hook the connector to the center and you cannot mess the alignment it is key for a specific position. Screw all four bolts tightly and off you go. Note also that this brings the wheel closer to the base for T818 owner as well which may help with seating position but if you have others wheel WITH adapter, that may mean some seat fiddling when switching.Note that seeing there is a USB-C under the center connector, it may mean that firmware is updated via that (Like SF1000) and that would require removing the connector to access it. Not tested yet, as was just too happy to get new wheel with no adapter to search which has been hard to find in Canada.Gameplay is great and for a fully round wheel it is quite flexible for the type of racing you can do with it. Rallying and some sport car is where this one will most be used but given, I really like extra buttons at the top and other placement compared to my Sparcos, it may end up being use more overall.

Great wheel however some of the stitching started to fray at one end within the first week. Hence the missing star. Used some super glue to stop any potential unravel. But a really nice wheel and I don't regret my purchase

I should've listened to my ex about how a couple extra inches can make all the difference lol. This thing looks like a really kids toy lol. It actually feels pretty good for it's purpose but my initial impression was wow that's small. Good materials though with lots of metal and leather.

This is the best general purpose wheel at this price point. The buttons are in very comfortable positions, the frame is heavy duty and rigid, the craftsmanship is top notch, and the paddles are weighty and satisfyingly clicky. Feels like a dream hooked up to my TS-PC. Highly recommend.

I have replaced my wheel rim on the T-GT II with the open wheel. It's a great upgrade for me to immerse myself even more playing F1 game. Whilst it is light, it does have some good weight to it and feels great in the hands. You can take the front face plate off and screw in the BT LED shift light/tacho which makes it even nicer.

最高です。　が、グリップのスポンジで手が黒くなりますので、手袋着用で使用しています。

Se nota la calidad en cuanto lo sacas de la caja, las levas aunque son algo pequeñas me quedan muy comodas al agarre tal vez para alguien de manos grandes le resulte algo incomodo, los botones resaltan mucho en el tono oscuro del metal, estoy muy contento con el producto

I bought this to use with my Thrustmaster T300RS base (mainly for F1 2019, iRacing, and other road course racing). Attaching it was super simple. Up and running within a couple of minutes! The wheel feels sturdy, has a nice grip to it, and just feels comfortable holding it in your hands. The range of motion is excellent. It provides great feedback and has responsive steering for attacking the corners like you need to!The only downside I found with this wheel was that the material from the gripped handles rubs off onto your hands, leaving them nice and black/gritty feeling after a lengthy race. It’s not a problem if you wash them off right after or plan on using some sort of gloves while using the wheel. All in all, the pros heavily outweigh the only con (if you want to call it that). I highly recommend this add-on for your Thrustmaster base!

I've owned my Thrustmaster 458 Italia TX base for about a year and a half now but it wasn't too long after owning one that the "novelty" of being able to race hypercars in Forza wore off and I began to want more of a simulation experience. Surprisingly it wasn't too long ago until all of these TX compatible add-ons were readily available for online purchase and I was more than ready to upgrade. I recommend getting the TH8A shifter and T3PA pedals first, like I did, and then buying a wheel rim later (unless you have the money to get all of them at once.) The reason being there's much more immersion found in the better pedals and being able to shift H pattern over having a nicer wheel rim. However after getting both the pedals and shifter it wasn't much long after that the original TX wheel rim felt out of place as it's so light, plasticy, and hollow. Also the D shape and huge "airbag" make the wheel almost impossible to hold comfortably any where but 9 & 3 so tight turns requiring lots of wheel rotation wasn't very smooth. Now that I'm done describing how bad the TX wheel rim is enter the TM 28 wheel which fixes all of this.When I got this wheel I was immediately happy by how much more realistic it looks and the very noticeable increase in weight which makes it look and feel as if it is a real steering wheel (just slightly smaller and with a plastic quick release.) Since this rim is completely round and the center of this wheel is much thinner and smaller it makes it easy to grab at any angle and you can just let the wheel slide through your hands back to center (just like in a real car) and you can also do hand over hand or whatever method you use when making tight, fast turns. My only disappointment was the leather feels very thin and hard and the stitching is also very hard and rough and can sometimes itch/hurt your thumbs depending on how tightly you're holding the wheel. I was quite disappointed the leather wasn't as supple looking as the Logitech G29 (which I've never felt but from pictures it looks thicker since it's perforated) I put mink oil on the leather a few times and that seems to have made the leather a bit richer and it does feel a bit smoother and more comfortable however it'll never feel any softer since the leather itself is so thin however you could just modify a lace-on or wrap-on steering wheel cover onto this wheel or just wear gloves but for me I got used to it and have a blast using it every time I race. Aside from the looks the best part of this wheel rim is the buttons. The positioning is perfect, and click is very pronounced and realistic, and there's just the right amount for the console necessities (since on PC you should probably be using a button box anyway if you need to map many commands.) To make things easier I cut small black pieces of electrical tape and labeled them with a silver sharpie to correspond to all of the Xbox controller's buttons which saves a few dollars instead of buying the custom stickers.It was also very important to me that this wheel is thinner depth wise, probably by an inch and a half to two inches than the TX rim as I'm using a Playseat Challenge which doesn't offer any forward/backward wheel deck movement so this allows my arms to be a bit more straight out and less cramped and at an angle like they were with the TX wheel which is a huge and much needed improvement for me.At first I was going to save up for the Ferrari 599 alcantara rim but this wheel is often so affordable for used ones (which my used one look brand new and never opened) I decided I would go with it and am happy I did. However if you're going to pay full price for a new one you may want to consider paying just another 30 dollars more and getting the larger and nicer alcantara wheel. I may add the larger, D-shaped, alcantara wheel and F1 rim to my collection in the future but right now I've very happy doing all of my racing on this wheel rim.The TM 28 Leather wheel rim is a must have for anyone who has the cheap plastic TX rim and also worth considering if you're tired of the rubber grips on many of the other Thrustmaster wheel rims. This wheel rim looks great, feels higher quality than the rubber and plastic ones, I prefer the black Thrustmaster badging in the center over the Ferrari logo, the buttons feel professional, it makes sim racing easier, more realistic, and most importantly more fun, all of which make you a better sim racer.

Well, I'll start by saying that I play racing simulation games for over 12years. And with that said, I found my V1 Fanatect base not working (and) bought a T500rs to be used in the two months my V2 Fanatec base would be delivered as it was back ordered. Anyways, I found the wheel on the T500 complicated as the paddle shifter don't rotate with the wheel - and that's the reason I bought the VG TM Leather 28 GT add on wheel. I ended up not using it at all and retured it as soon as I had time to drop the box at UPS. The wheel does have a good finish and the Leather feels great, but it is too small (I mean smaller than the stock T500 wheel which is 30cm and the 28 GT is 28cm. On top of that the button assignments are all over, they don't follow the same pattern as the stock wheel. So I found it too much money $180 for something smaller and confusing than the stock T500 wheel. In my case the T500 is my spare wheel as I have the Fanatec bmw gt3 set up. But someone might like the wheel and not be bothered by its size, etc. It was just not for me.

I am extremely happy with this product overall. The first thing you notice as you remove it from the box is just how lightweight and well built the rim really is. Being made out of metal and genuine leather, the wheel feels like a true premium product. The buttons are just where you would expect them to be and have a quality feel to them unlike the buttons on the standard wheel rim. They have a fair about of travel in them exactly like they are in real GT cars. The paddles have a nice positive click when pulled but aren't so loud that you can hear them over the noise of the sim or when wearing headphones. It's a feeling that is felt rather than heard. The rotary switch on the face of the wheel is PERFECT for adjusting brake bias within any sim that allows it on the fly. This is easily my favorite feature of the wheel. Overall this is the best bang for your buck item you could purchase for your Thrustmaster wheel setup. Installation was extremely easy. I removed the stock paddles off of my T500RS and threaded this rim straight on, labeled my buttons, and went racing. No drivers are needed. Well done Thrustmaster
