Tend to agree with this, though I haven't actually tested the TX stock rim.Change your order, The T300 RS stock wheel rim is much better. The TX wheel rim is going to give you an inaccurate impression of the wheel's capabilities. Sorry to say.
Need to clarify though that all these rims are interchangeable, you can even use the TX rim on a T300 and vice versa. Also, while the T300/GTE rim has a much better quality feel to it, it's also a lot heavier than the TX rim, so I've read a few people who actually prefer the TX rim because less weight means you get less mechanical dampening, aka you feel more details and the wheel is able to turn faster. I can feel this difference bigtime between the formula style rim on my CSW base and the BMW rim. Both are great, but the formula rim makes it much snappier, faster and a good bit more detailed (also, due to it's smaller size the FFB feels stronger because I have less help from the size of the wheel).T300RS - your choice of wheel rim. PS4 rim or Ferrari GTE rim
TX - "cheapo" feeling 458 Italia replica rim (it sucks and makes the whole wheel feel cheap)
absolutely!Also,the "toy like" feel is partially due to wheel diameter. Don't you think?
Our wheels are as much toys as a golfers clubs are toys, or a tennisplayers racket, as long as you're not doing it professionally and getting paid for it then you're probably doing it as a hobby for entertainment, simracing is no different to the aforementioned in that regard. I know fishermen who have spent as much on a reel for their fishing rod as my entire CSW setup costs.I don't want to sound rude , but we are using wheels for a game in essence its all toys just big boys toys lol

Same here.I got the tx and added the gte rim after but the t300 wasn't available then.
I can confirm what Pär is saying here. Even on my CSW which is stronger than aTX/T300 I notice a slight loss in FFB detail when using the new BMW rim compared to the formula rim. That having been said you need to consider the fact that real cars would probably be the same, a tin top with a 320km rim will feel more dampened than a more nimble open wheeler with a small formula style rim. Luckily I have the option to swap rims in seconds to match what I play in gameI have had my TX sinced april I bought it used. No issues.
Here I go again.
The GTE rim will spoil the ffb noticably. The TX and T300RS just don´t have enough torque to compensate. You can´t compensate by increasing the power just causes more clipping and best to compare apple to apple as nothing prevent you to run the same settings on the TX.
Maybe you will preferr the GTE rim anyway so try both
Personally I preferred the grip of the TX Rim as well. A round 280 mm rim would come handy for rally and drifting but this was areas where the GTE rim performed the worst due to the weight. Don´t forget the F1 rim either yes painted buttons and all but it´s very practical and functional beside the spin wheels that are so flimsy they are not to be trusted. But it certainly don´t feel right for rally or drifting either.
If you run on PC I would for sure source a shifter and an aftermarket rim. Aftermarket rims can be had for less then the Thrustmaster rims uses better materials is lighter and more solid. Again be wary about weight and the bigger the rim the more leverage and harder for your wheel to support enough forces to.
If you don´t have a shifter that route will end up more expensive but paddle shifting is efficient but so booring. I only use it when I feel I really have to for formula racing or similar.
