[@BrenLR]

Hi, I just bought a 8nm csl dd, but I have a cheap racing rig. I am not in the position to spend anything over 250, so I was thinking of buying a Gt Omega ART without a seat, and using my old one. What should I do?

[@reviewforthetube6485]

This wheel imo is the peak of our hobby for wheels. Period they just know how to design a wheel that doesn't look overly done yet has everything others do.

[@OCRacing]

I definitely agree - would be interested in knowing what this doesn't have that someone could want.

[@natexcarrillo3108]

@@OCRacingi think 1:1 working replicas for the cars will be peak but idk if we’re ever gonna get that soon besides fanatec

[@amigoz3201]

@@natexcarrillo3108it is 1:1 replica! Just with total 4 options, you can get exact Artura wheel as in real gt4 as Ascher produces it for them, but simracers need encoders Etc. I drove with this wheel it is best i have ever tried!

[@Tstahl962]

Idk, the Moza GS GT V2 and FSR V2 do a lot of things better for half the price. They even match or exceed this wheel in quality featuring spring loaded mechanical buttons with actual travel and progressive resistance instead of just standard generic buttons with their annoying plasticy click as seen on this wheel. Additionally, you get a great finish of real carbon fibre/aluminium/plastic on the Moza wheels instead of just alumium/plastic like on the Asher racing one, not every wheel needs real carbon fibre front plates and paddleshifters, but the fact that this one doesn't have any of that for more than twice the price is a bit concearning to me. Especially since with moza you end up getting magnetic, photoelectric carbon fibre paddleshifters on any wheel above 350usd... Addressing the grips, what I will say is that I personally prefer the perforated leather ones on the moza wheels instead of rubber ones, but people driving exclusively with gloves have had other opinions when I've discussed this in the past so I'll leave that open for personal preference since I understand that everyone feels a bit different there, but again, real perforated leather is a lot more expensive to manufacture than just standard rubber grips, and just further not justifying the pricetag here. My final ick, atleast considering the pricetag, the quick release system and compatability is nice but the QR itself is quite lacking, but that's not the wheels fault specifically. Still, 1600usd is crazy for that if I again, draw a comparison to a 550 or 750 usd moza wheel which has a nice, snappy spring loaded one made fully of aluminium from a real racecar, fully wireless and with onboard telemetry. To not only rant about this wheel but also mention some of the good things I noticed, the rotary encoders and dials opposed to the moza wheels seem to be made of aluminium which is an edge it has over the plastic ones on the moza wheels which although they feel nice and it's no cheap plastic, are a bit behind in comparison. The only other real benefit I see that this has above a 750usd FSR wheel is that the screen is a touch more customizable, but that's purely a bit of software, the FSR matches it everywhere else from a functionality standpoint and exceeds it on quality, again, for not even half the price. I just see this wheel as a bit of a crashgrab because it has mclaren written on it.

[@aswang17]

Thanks OC for the discount code! Picked mine up after this review and was able to save. That said the $1500 price tag includes VAT. So if you live in the US, the wheel is actually much cheaper. $1350 for me shipped.

[@happyracing3359]

For me this is for sure a wheel i got on my radar for the future, everything just feels perfect to me, and being able to use the Asetek QR for a "wireless" experience just makes this wheel so much better for me.

[@OCRacing]

and you get 5% off using code "ocracing" 😉

[@GiosSimCorner]

with $1500 i was able to buy myself my first DD wheelbase + wheel and LC pedals as a complete package. Dont know how people can justfiy spending that kind of $$ for one single wheel. But if you can more power to you.

[@OCRacing]

I was thinking the same, at the end of the day though, there just are levels to the game 😭

[@GiosSimCorner]

@@OCRacing Its the same for the Active Pedals $2500 for one is absurd don't get me wrong what they can do software wise is impressive but unless you got some extra funds or are a pro driver whos benefiting from it not the average sim racer

[@aswang17]

Diminished returns is a thing. But to get the highest level of equipment, you have to pay a premium. That's true across all hobbies. Objectively, your setup wouldn't even compare to the people's rigs this wheel is marketed towards. That said, I would never suggest buying premium high end gear if cost is a concern.

[@lukaositashvili3163]

1500 for a wheel is absolutely insane, i thought the 400 dollar sf1000 from thrustmaster was expensive 😂

[@OCRacing]

Yup, definitely not my tax bracket 🤣

[@gernsey7362]

yeah just another $1500 wheel in a market flooded with wheels at that price point.. SimRacing is getting a little to "Boujee" lately.

[@jochenkraus7016]

Same here. I'm not into F1 but thinking if the 250 GTO wheel also for 399 is worth it :-o (And to be serious I don't think the 250 GTO wheel is worth it but Ferrari branded stuff for a low price would also feel wrong, lol)

[@329376676]

You only use clutch paddles once at launch, the position of them is to avoid user error during race I think. Also there's really no point adding too much resistance to them for the same reason, the main action is releasing not pulling.

[@jameswebboo]

I love this wheel however I personally prefer the version without the dash as it looks very out of place to me, none the less it’s perfect

[@thatguywiththeshirt1615]

The dash surprisingly completes the wheel well

[@akpanjennings]

Welp never say never. I told myself I’d never spend $300 for just a wheel. I currently have a $650 and a $700 wheel but this cost more than both of them combined 😭

[@OCRacing]

Never say never 🤞🤞

[@amigoz3201]

Ger version with out display! Or just with out dual clutch 840eur...

[@simaddiction]

Funny how adding a screen that you have to take your eyes off the road to look at makes them twice as expensive as they should be. It is hilarious.

[@flipcoin6301]

On-wheel displays are for LMP/F1 seating positions, since they don’t have large dashboards and the wheel is directly in line-of-sight. Useless for GT or Rally as you stated.

[@RacingWithChuck27]

That’s been a little concerning for me going me a display on the wheel plus I’m 20” from the center screen so even closer to the display 🤔

[@jcsquared1111]

​@@flipcoin6301Funny you say that, got the Hyper P1 and realized wuthin 3 laps how useless the dash is for GT3 racing which is my goto and my rig set up. Deff thinking of going DDU and no screen version of this.

I’m going to say I love my rexing wheel. Wish you can do one for the mayaris 2. That wheel is dope.

[@RacingWithChuck27]

That’s the wheel I’m comparing to this… a little bland the Rexing v2 is but nice big 5” display and it’s light 1150, I prefer a lighter rim also

[@GUN69_]

Great review. I like that little touch of extra colour set, should you wish to customize the wheel. I have seen many people go with certain colour pattern on their rigs and this could be great to maintain that pattern. Very little detail but at this price point these are the things the potential customer is looking for. Ascher's wheels were rock solid before, so it does not come as a surprise this wheel follows that good trend. I would say something which might trigger few people but in case of aesthetics - which is very subjective - before Ascher Racing was representing German engineering to me. What do I mean by that? Rock solid product but quite ugly looking. On the other hand Cube Controls was Italian engineering - beautiful design but many reviews point out its unreliability. That wheel is not only the best looking wheel in Ascher's collection. I would risk saying it is in top 3 best looking wheels on the market. I personally like the version without the screen more.

I would like to suggest, if you have time for the build, the Pokornyi engineering wheels. They have something for everyone, and you can really tailor the cost to whatever you want. I’m currently building the GTEv2, might replace the main housing with aluminum though to get a more realistic feel to bring it in line with the actual Porsche 911 RSR steering wheel.

@@Smokeyr67 no sorry it doesnt

[@Smokeyr67]

@@Truebluenews7 actually, it does. When you add up the cost of parts (screen, buttons paddle mechanisms) aluminium + machining, moulding grips etc the material costs are far from cheap. Then they have to pay staff to assemble them, pay for advertising, R&D, customer service costs it all adds up. If the price is too much for you, so be it, I'm sure that you're not their target market. Nor am I, but there are people with the disposable income and the desire to own the best equipment for their needs. Will it make them a better pixel driver? Probably not, but if it makes their Sim racing experience more enjoyable then it's money well spent.
