I bought a Thrustmaster TX earlier this year, but as you may have read, the feel of the TX's standard 458 wheel is quite disappointing. It's all plastic or rubberised plastic (except for the paddles), feels light, creaks a bit and the buttons feel like standard Xbox controller buttons. I upgraded to the 28 GT initially, which was a good improvement but still left a bit to be desired. Then this appeared and after trying to talk myself out if it I went and bought it.The main thing I don't like about Thrustmasters cheaper wheels (458 GTE, T500RS, 458 Italia) is the cheaper feel of them. The 458 GTE and T500RS wheels are covered in rubberised plastic which is acceptable but not what I'd call quality.The 458 Italia that comes with the TX feels like a toy and as if it has been lifted from a £50 non-ffb wheel. The 28 GT improved upon these because it is leather wrapped which makes it better looking and feeling all of those. The 599XX rim, in my opinion, takes this up yet another level with a really high quality feeling Alcantara wrap and smoother stitching (although this might just be luck of the draw). The downside of Alcantara is that it is likely to wear a lot quicker than the 28 GT's leather wrap, particularly if you don't wear gloves. Add this to the metal, the strength and the overall feel of the rim, it's a very high quality product. This strength and added weight also results in the force feedback from my TX feel a bit smoother (albeit slightly weaker) than with the 458 Italia rim.The button placement and paddles are all the same as the GTE & 28 GT wheels which means the buttons and paddles are further away from your fingers while driving. On the other wheels, at least two buttons can be pressed without moving my hand at all, while on this wheel I have to move my hand to reach all the buttons. The 458 rim is the best in this regard as it has 8 buttons which were easy to access without moving your hand much/at all. That said, the buttons are laid out well, the paddles feel great and the buttons all feel fine.The design of the wheel is probably the best Thrustmaster makes. I think it is easily the nicest looking as well as the most comfortably shaped. The shape of the wheel's grip extensions make it far more comfortable than the 458 Italia and to a lesser extent more comfortable than the 458 GTE & 28 GT wheels. The padded Alcantara adds to this comfort too. The wheel is 30cm compared to the 28cm offered by the 458 GTE, 28 GT & 458 Italia. While this sounds insignificant, it really does go a long way to making this wheel feel more realistic. 30cm is still smaller than most real wheels, but when using it in a simulator environment, for me it is above the threshold of noticeably small and therefore doesn't detract from realism. I have a feeling I might actually perform better with the 28cm wheels though, but it's difficult to say.In summary, it's a huge upgrade over the standard 458 rim in terms of feel and quality and feels like a quality piece of equipment rather than a Fisher Price toy, but the lack of compensation for the added size does impact the buttons ease of use and it is also quite expensive. Like with the 28 GT rim I also reviewed, I would say this is something to get once you have an otherwise complete sim setup and some spare cash, particularly if you have the T300RS.

I bought this wheel as I have the Ferrari GTE 28cm wheel add on but found it was giving my hands cramp. I also saw that there was a leather version of the same wheel but decided against it as it would still give me the same problems due to also being 28cm diameter. Since getting this wheel I no longer get cramps & I find it ergonomically better than the 28cm versions. The button layout I find is also good, although the D-pad is a little stiff but in a way is a good thing to minimise errors caused when changing settings for example when doing a race.Just to note if you want to preserve the Alcantara finish like new, then wear gloves.Normally after prolonged use it tends to give a "shiny" effect where it has been handled which is common with this kind of material & also suede. Just make sure your hands are dry when using this wheel & avoid anything made with oils since this can really mark the material.What I would like to see Thrustmaster come up with is a 32cm diameter version wheel. The reason they might not do this is because with bigger & heavier wheels, you feel less of the force feedback strength due to the weight. So far at the time of typing this review, doing your own wheel mod is the only way forward. I am in the process of modding a Sparco d shaped wheel which is 32cm in diameter but it is very light to still feel those force feedback movements. I would recommend that wheel if this of interest to you & also the guides out there on how to mod it for compatibility with Thrustmaster wheels.

I thought about getting this wheel to add to my Thrusmaster wheel collection for awhile I already own the GTE rim and the F1 rim. I wasn't sure if this would feel any different to the GTE rim to be honest and the price of this rim is double the price of the standard GTE rim. But I am so pleased I purchased this 599XX Evo rim it just screams quality the moment you get your hands on it. The Alcantara used is imported from the same source that Ferrari use on there rims. The rim is bigger than the other Thrustmaster rims at 30cm I know that is not a massive amount of difference but its enough to make it feel like the real deal. This wheel feels so nice to drive with and really helps to immerse you in the driving experience.Force feedback feels so much better to me. I will say to anyone buying this wheel rim to invest in a pair of gloves to protect the Alcantara it is easy to clean but I like wearing the gloves anyway just to deepen the experience a stage further. the wheel wouldn't look out of place in a glass cabinet on display just as a collectors piece. I would without question recommend this wheel to anyone who takes there sim racing seriously or anyone just wanting a quality wheel for there Thrustmaster eco system.

This wheel really is a must for anyone with some spare cash burning a hole in your pocket .The extra size isn't much different from the stock wheel (20mm) but makes a big difference in the overall feel from the FFB .Talking of feeling ......wow ,soft and very comfortable, buttons are well placed and much more convenient.Did my first race with this rim last night (first time I used it) with project cars at zoldar (40 laps 23 of which were thunderstorm)in the GT3 Z4 and finished 45 secs ahead of P2 after starting at the back of the grid after Quali was ruined by a cut track .......did the wheel help ? Most definitely yes ,could feel the car slipping out and correct much easier .The settings I had for the standard rim will need adjusting to add a bit more overall FFB as it feels weaker with this rim .Had a quick drive on Assetto as well and even better feeling .Can't tell you enough how well made this item is and just how great it feels ....highly recommendedIf you can afford it , buy it , you won't be disappointed

I don't usually write reviews about products that I have bought but as I really like this one I decided to write a review. I bought this wheel as an add-on for my tx racing wheel and I have to say that I am very pleased with it is very comfortable to use for long periods of time the build quality is very good and it is a lot better than the stock one that comes with the TX racing wheel base which is made of rubber and very rubberised I also find it very bulky to use after about an hour of using it becomes very uncomfortable.Which I can say is not the case with this thrustmaster 599xx evo 30 wheel the material is very well made and stitched together and the main part of this wheel is made ofmetal which does in my opinion make it a lot better and stronger which means it won't be so easy to break it is a very comfortable wheel to use I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a decent wheel to add on to The TX racing wheel base and Yes I would recommend it.

For the price I was put off for a long time but I had purchest a gt wheel add on for my t500rs rig as the standered wheel is a lovely size but very cheep to feel has no paddle shifters & in general a bit naff on buying the Ferrari gt wheel I loved the button lay out but yet again found it very cheep to feel & a little small the 599evo 30gt wheel on the other hand is everything I wanted in a wheel the size weight & feel is amazing plus size makes it perfect for use with th8a shifter or paddles alike must admit when new the stitching can be a little wearing on the inner thumbs from over driving but soon softens up I must admit I've never been a fan of Ferrari but finding a smart sparco wheelcentre cover was no problem & really looks the part even writing this review makes me yearn to get back on the track but when new would recommend gloves for a while

Great alternative to plastic or leather but the alcantara (faux suade) can wear more easily especially if your a tight gripper going into some late braking turns.The leather version is half the price but this is brand new and I'd expect prices to even out soon. Never the less a great wheel that also fits the Thrustmaster TX system. Buttons are replica of the 599 so no specific PS Xbox buttons here, you'll have to remember what you've mapped to each yourself.Another great plus point is that it's slightly bigger than the 458 Italian wheel meaning you'll feel each bump and shudder more do, the 3 and 9 o'clock position is also nicely padded. I'm told these are made in Italy where the actual Ferrari 599 wheels are too!Great item treat yourself :0)

Brilliant wheel..I was not sure on purchasing this product as the price was steep for a gaming wheel and the stock wheel on the T300rs is acceptable but rubberised not to my liking..anyway after some homework on this wheel i decided to go for it... i was not disappointed with this add on by thrustmaster the best feeling wheel ive had in my hands well made, well stitched, larger , looks the business, better feel to the force feedback etc.No going back to my smaller stock wheel...A note: if you want your nice new wheel to still look good after a few month's then a pair of drivin gloves are needed.... overall this wheel is worth every penny and feels real..A must have for the sim racer.

Have a T300RS with the original very plastic feel wheel, I had wrapped it in cycle bar tape to get a better feel but that was a disaster - don't reccommend, can't let the wheel slip through your hands because of all of the edges of the tape, duh! Anyway decided to just do it properly and get this. The size is perfect, the feel is great and the quality second to none. Racing PC2 and AC just feels right now FFB feels better and the immersion is better. Not a ferrari fan but the wheel looked like the shape I wanted so stuck myself a new manufacturer badge over the top, but that just a personal touch. Don't hesitate to update a T300 system with this, no regrets.

Super fast delivery to Sweden (4 days earlier actually).First impression: I fell in love with the 599 wheel at first sight (It is replacing my T300rs). It is really top quality wheel.No complaints so far.Same goes for the TH8A shifter. I used it as an analogue handbrake on PC until my Fanatec CSL elite load cell pedals arrives.Follow up review will follow up on both after some heavy use.Here are some photos (Rseat RS1 rig will be here soon)

Purchased through a friends amazon account. This is alot better than standard wheel and bigger than I expected. First thing I noticed was the ffb felt alot better, not sure why but does. Good quality wheel, pleased with purchase and you must wear gloves otherwise you will wear alcantara out. Very pleasedCheck out my youtube channel Track Select Sim Racing

30cm rim makes all the difference to the force feedback...The Alcantara quality is amazing and so good to touch and grip it oozes quality..to only con the buttons and gear paddles are standard thrustmaster gear..but I highly recommend this rim..please remember this is an add on you need a compatible thrustmaster base to connect too..A+

Had one a couple of years ago. The only downside is wear patterns after use. What I did second time around is apply protection before use. I used fabric guard to prevent oils and dirt getting deep into thr material. Many other choices out there. Great wheel over all

13.11.2018

Fantastic wheel, I have to wear gloves when driving with it otherwise I get carpet burn. However the wheel is absolutely great slightly bigger than the most wheel but when you fine tune the wheel weight and FFB it is the bear wheel ever.Absolutely worth the monet

19.1.2016

Great wheel, Larger diameter, better feel with Project Cars.You do need gloves with this wheel so be warned or the wheel will suffer.Buy a pair of beginners Karting gloves they give good feel and not too thick.
