How many rims do you own?

Asking to see if people have more than 1 steering rim for sim racing.

Updated poll to add 4th option as 1 should also have non fixed to base option.

 

I have the Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition and a GT wheel from Speed Maxx Racing (SMR). I like to switch rims but at the same time it is a pain to re-assign the buttons every single time. It gets old after while.

 

I own 3. A T150, G920, T300RS GT but I use only the latter one with no secondary Rim. The other two wheelbases are lend to friends.

 

Its more a question of rims (not bases) and swappable rims.
I own 2 now, just sold my Formula v2 rim so now have the new McLaren v2 and a Universal Hub that i have 4 rims for ( 280mm, 300mm, 350mm round and 320mm D shape). I am going to buy more Universal Hubs soon.

 

I don't plan to purchase or use a secondary Rim for the T300RS, I would rather get a T500RS

 

I'm waiting on my CSL DD and ClubSport Steering Wheel BMW GT2, along with ClubSport Pedals V3. I might eventually get a modern GT wheel as a second.

 

What does this actually mean and how will it help us needing multiple profiles?

"often-requested option to map multiple commands to the same key or button."

 

So you can have mappings setup for each individual wheel or multiple mappings for the same wheel.
Why did you get rid of your V2 rim?

 

Good thread by the way, surprised no one thought of it earlier!
I have two, the fanatec formula V2 F1 2018 rim and the podium Porsche GT3 rim. Will get maybe two or three more when some catch my eye. My next purchase will be the new QR for my two existing rims

 

Why do you only have the option for 1 fixed to base? I have a single wheel, but it's on a TS-PC, so not fixed.

 

My Formula rim journey started back with a Formula Carbon, i had that for a few years until the first McLaren rim came out, i bought the McLaren rim and loved the size and button layout, so sold the Carbon before having non stop issues with the McLaren rim. Fanatec (where great) repaired it twice, then refunded it, so i bought the Formula v2.
I always found the design to be to small but with no other option i used it happily until Fanatec surprised me with the updated McLaren v2. I bought it, tried it out, found it to be the same but better than the OG one so sold the Formula v2 again. I don't have a need to a 270mm Formula rim and very happy with the 300mm McLaren rim.
All i need now is another Universal hub to fit my 320mm D shape as i use my 320mm Momo round for all old H pattern cars and the D shape is nice for the likes of the Porsche Cup and Super V8. I'm thinking of getting the CSL Hub and removing the shifter paddles and use that for the round rim and H pattern cars.

 

My bad, i thought of that after hitting post.

Sorry, but you can revote to correct your vote if wrong because of this

 

Fanatec McLaren GT3 v1 rim and CSL Elite rim. The latter I use for older sims such as AMS1 where the MPS switches on the McLaren rim make it impossible to map the controls.

I don't hot-swap between rims in AMS2. I've tried that before, but if I hot-swap rims then the new rim won't be dectected, and if I restart my wheelbase so it can be detected, I lose all force feedback. So if I want to race the Copa Truck with the CSL Elite rim, I need to restart AMS2 first.

 

What driver are you on? I can hot swap just fine in all sims.
Edit , i just looked at your sig, 381...same as me.

 

Yeah, it's probably a driver thing. Choosing Fanatec driver versions is like playing russian roulette, they all seem to have drawbacks.

 

I'm also able to hot swap rims without issue - other than button mappings! Driver 402.

 

4 rims, though only 3 in use with AMS2. Multiple profiles are badly needed.

 

Cool, you should use joytokey for that. I use it for a couple of months by now and it is a life changer for me. Swap a rim and buttons are mapped. No swapping button mappings etc.. it is free but you will be asked to what you would like to pay. I have mapped all my buttons to keyboard input. The app makes it possible to map a button to the desired keyboard input. Voila, no more button mapping after swapping a wheel.

I have 2 wheels. 1 round standard CSL and a F1 v1. To bad they just introduced the McLaren again. I returned my MCLaren rim 2 years ago because all the problems. Now the V2 will be a lot better I guess. Just bought my F1 rim so I won’t spend that amount of money on the McLaren rim again.
