Why is the rim so cheap, considering the average price of their rims, is it mad of cardboard?

 

[ramiboo]

Yeah, I'm with you @Gopher04 , I'm still thinking the formula rim would be better.

He is being firewalled by his employer, that's why i proposed it.

Yeh that will be the day, I've been out of work for a couple of years for different reasons.

Laser engraved Pit/Neutral buttons...why why..I want to choose..
Don't get me wrong price is good, but to good.

Well I heard that some people find the formula rim to cramped, it is quite small I noticed. But it looks pretty slick

 

[Nighttiger]

All reviews I read, state that the Elite out-performs G27 / G29 / G920, so this seems to be a no-brainer.

The Elite base comes with a table camp, so you should be fine with that.

Thanks Shepard. However I do miss out on a H-shifter and clutch paddle without buying upgrades

True, I was one of them..but once I sorted some custom shifter's it was far better, and this new one is about 4 cm longer so not much difference, but for me the price baffles me.

Personally I was hoping for a deal on the Porsche rim..

4 1/2 hour a dozen attempts at orders and god knows how many page refreshes my order has finally gone through

I see...that'll make 700€ to replace your current system...bummer

But still my question, is it worth it to upgrade to the CSL elite bundle from the G27? Furthermore, I don't own a sim rug, Just a flat desk.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Nighttiger, I made a similar jump from a g27 a couple of years ago asked the same question albeit to a csw elite. It was a massive upgrade in quality and feel in my opinion. I guess for you it would boil down to how much you value a clutch pedal and h shifter. I tended to only use paddles so it was no loss for me really.

 

[Dutchtastic]

Incase people are wondering about the discount and not being able to get on the website to place an order

 

[Gopher04]

But it's not explaining the Sophos one many are getting..

 

[Gopher04]

Finally got in to have a snoop around using Tunnelbear cheers Ramiboo for the tip.. As for the new rim..meh don't like it, it looks cheapie , and it's not a full replica, wallet took a big deep breath.

Hey Mark, indeed I do not use the clutch really that much, and the h-shifter not that much aswell. I guess it is a viable update then.

Id settle just for a screen grab of the thing... seriously tempted too - but as its branded CSL does it support the normal CSW quick release ? I adore that and swap wheels regularly each session based on car.

You have to buy the CSW quick release for it which is another h 99€

 

[Pamellaaa]

Finally succeeded after about 10 hours!

ugh that turns it from an impulse buy into a bit of an investment...

 

[TheDoctor46]

Just preordered that friggin McLaren GT3 wheel. Quite like the P1 Elite, but can't say no to an alternative wheel. If only it was already available

As per the website description, the CSL QR should be compatible to the CSW QR. Only difference is that the CSL QR is made of plastic and is bolted on (as in not as "quick" as the CSW QR).

Alas Im spoilt with the QR on the CSW. Dont want to go back from that. Sure I could spend the pennies but seeing I really dont need a new rim its in the realms of more serious pennies - will probably wait and see on reviews now.

My order for the Elite bundle is in
