With so many racing games inundating the market these days, run-of-the-mill racing wheels, let alone the standard controllers, just wouldn't cut it anymore.

These games feature cutting-edge technology and you're using a cheap wheel to play them? Not exactly realistic, is it?

What you need is a racing wheel that will make the entire gaming experience all that more realistic. You need a wheel that will make you feel like you're really driving those virtual cars. You need a wheel like the new Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Italia->ke3479 Racing Wheel.

From the minds that gave birth to the T500RS and the Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit comes the latest in race gaming accessories. The 11" F458 wheel features a rubberized grip that allows you stay firmly in control of your virtual race car while the built-in metal paddle shifters, a Manettino dial, and progressive resistance allows you to make all the necessary adjustments to ensure that your lap times aren't ruined by the smallest of mistakes. The F458 racing wheel is exclusive to the Xbox 360->ke3732, which you can use for all your Forza 4 exploits.

As far as PS3->ke3735 and PC->ke3702 gamers are concerned, you're not left out in the dark. Thrustmaster will also be releasing the TH8 RS gear shifter, which you can connect to the aforementioned T500RS, allowing you to configure your gearbox set-up with either H-pattern or sequential configurations.

The accessories are dropping on shelves this October for the price of $180 for the F458 wheel and $90 for the TH8 gear shifter. They won't come cheap, but for the awesome experience, forking over those amounts will all be worth it in the end.
