Where do I begin with this thing? It's incredible, laser cut aluminum, magnetic paddle shifter's, 12 push button's (1 on each rotary encoder) and 2 rotary encoders’. It weighs 834.6 gram's, which is a good 400 or so gram's lighter than my stock T500 wheel weighed, this is good because it means the wheel's motor's work less to move the weight, which in turn I believe translates into faster rotation speed @ equal force. (Not tested, but I have a theory, physics right...)
It's a carbon wrap, you'll see the edges have been painted black to match, but as it turns out it's really hard to get paint to stick to aluminum & so some of the paint has flaked, the rest is fine though as long as you don't scratch at it, I kind of like it like that though... It feels like an old racecar to me, one that's seen & won many battles.
The plastic parts are 3D printed & the nut's & bolts are all stainless.
There is a way to connect the wheel directly to the Thrustmaster din input, however I haven’t tried it, so that would be something for you to experiment with. At the moment it is connected to your PC via its own USB cable (coiled preferably) and picked up as a standalone game controller, so you could swap out the Thrustmaster locking thread on the back & get it to fit another wheelbase.
And then lastly, you could also print stickers to label each of the button's functions & either put a prancing horse emblem or track map on the center.
Item: 488 GT3 wheel - I don't think I'm allowed to mention a brand... because copyright & stuff?
Age: Assembled by myself & @Zoink in March this year (2020)
Price: Am I allowed to say make me an offer? I know what it cost to build, in regards to part's & time. Those grips took forever to get to look like that, and they were worth every second
Warranty: It's a wheel... It helps you go in circles.
Packaging: I'll pack it well?
Condition: Like new??? (How long ago was March?)
Location: George, Western Cape
Reason: I no longer own a Thrustmaster wheel, so perhaps this can bring someone else some joy... Otherwise I'm going to hang it on my wall... In fact, I might still do that.
Shipping: Sure, on buyer
Collection: Sure.
Link: See pic's above & This is what a real one looks like
