The Top-Rated Racing Wheels Available on Amazon

From Forza Motorsport, to Gran Turismo, to Need for Speed, there are plenty of great driving games. But driving a vehicle around with just a controller in hand can take you out of the experience. So companies both big and small make racing-wheel accessories that feature everything from steering wheels to pedals. Their goal is simple: to make your driving experience as authentic as possible.

But before you buy just any racing wheel, consider that some are better than others. And finding the right accessory is the difference between really enjoying your driving-game experience and having it miss the mark. Here are the best-reviewed racing wheels on Amazon that have a B rating or higher on Fakespot, a website that uses algorithms to detect fake reviews.

The Hori Racing Wheel Apex is an affordable option that includes both a steering wheel and pedals. The Apex is compatible only with the PlayStation 4 and PC, however, so if you're a Forza fan, move on. The full-size wheel has a 270-degree turning radius, and its pedals are "optimized for authentic racing simulation." A mount clamp attached to the steering wheel can be used to keep it sturdy during use.

If you don't mind spending nearly $500 for a racing wheel, the Thrustmaster VG T300 Ferrari Alcantara is worth a look. It's compatible with PlayStation 4 and PC, and can be detached from the base and pedals for more comfortable use. The wheel itself is actually a replica of the Ferrari 599XX Evo, and its wrapping was imported from Italy. In other words, it's all luxury. The wheel comes with an attachment system and built-in screws so you can mount it on a desk or table. If you want to get really serious, consider picking up the optional TH8A shifter to really put yourself in a Ferrari cockpit.
