What's the best steering wheel for GT7?

Hello guys,
I bought the GT DD PRO along with the ClubSport Pedals V3 to play GT7 on PS5.
But I don't like the look and feeling on the steering wheel that comes with the bundle.
It feels too much like a toy in my opinion.
So, I want to ask you guys your opinion on the best steering wheel that I can get to play GT7 since it has a huge variety of different cars to drive.
I was really into the Formula V2.5X, but watching some reviews from it, people tend to say that, Formula V2.5x is more for F1 cars, and it's not good for Rally or Drift for example.
Thank you all in advance for helping me find the best steering wheel for GT7.

I was also looking into one of the Podium or ClubSport Steering Wheel PORSCHE 911 GT3 R as well.
Personal preference really.
Rally or drift, you need a full circumference wheel as you do change the position of where you grip the wheel.
I am only on ACC so the mclaren v2 gt3 is fine with 900deg or rotation. Might even go 720!
I have F1 wheel for year and a half on GT Sport, first on CSL Elite and now on GT DD Pro.
I also have rounded wheel with universal hub 330mm and 300mm diameter but I don't like it, F1 is the best.
Great quality, all buttons are under my thumbs, one joystick for camera and funky switch for BB, TCS,...
Wheel is light and have vibration motors which helps with braking.
On the other hand, for the price of F1 V2.5 you can buy McLaren V2 and CSL BMW and cover GT cars, rally and drifting. 🤷🏻♂️
Great, Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and experience.
I might get the Formula V2.5x then, and if I ever need a round wheel, I'll just plug the one that came with GT DD PRO.
I'm not worried about the money when trying to find the perfect steering wheel for GT7.
I want something that feels good on hand and does the job.
As David said, all this is personal preference. I came from TM T150 and Logitech G25 (and DFP earlier) and all of them have smaller rims (280mm, same as this new GT wheel from DD PRO).
Than I switch to Fanatec and I was going to buy CSL Elite bundle with P1 wheel but it was out of stock at that time and then I went to bundle with F1 Esports wheel.
It was wierd at start, but when I bought R330 few months later I realise that rim is way to big. So I bought 300mm rim but that was also big for my taste.
Also I noticed how much I like those vibration function on F1 wheel which activates when you braking. I have V3 pedals, they vibrates too, but with F1 wheel those vibrations are much more pronounced
In GT Sport when I drive N or Gr4 cars which have wheel turn of 1080° I change SEN setting from Auto to 900°, but again, that is all personal preference
Awesome explanation.
You have a lot of experience and know what you're talking about.
That's my first wheelbase. I'm new to the sim racing scenario.
Thank you very much!!
Thank you, David,
I'll get the Formula V2.5X and then use the wheel that came along with the GT DD PRO for whenever I need a round wheel for now.
Well, I am with Gran Turismo from the first game, with wheels since GT4 🙈😁

🤩 Awesome!!!
Thank you very much!!
Another question for you though.
What are the Settings that you use on the Fanatec Control Panel for GT DD PRO on Gran Turismo Sport?
Would you share yours?
And I placed the order for the Formula V2.5x.
Any suggestion on where I can find Playstation button caps for it?
I know it comes with Xbox button caps on it. But I'd like to change it PS caps if possible.
