Default Racing Wheels

I fancy getting a racing wheel for my pc, I run vista, and wondered if anyone has any suggestions on cheap but good wheels.

I was looking at Trust wheels. Theyre not exactly a decent make from what ive worked out but theyre around £20 and most reviews say theyre good for the money.

Any suggestions?

Logitech Momo
Not sure if you will be able to find one locally to you, but they are amazing, very realistic experience

If you are restricted by budget then those wheels are a reasonable option. However when they are described as realistic that is not true. Those are "kart" steering wheels where the wheel doesn't even turn a full circle. The most realistic are the wheels that rotate 21/2 turns from lock to lock. The only drawback is not many games support multiturn yet. One of the best wheels to date is the Logitec Driving Force Pro which is getting difficult to find new. It has been replaced by the G25 which is twice the price. Once you would use these wheels you would not go back to "Kart" steering.

The Driving Force Pro will work on PC with XP, not sure about Vista.

Another possible option would be the driving wheel for the 360? The wired controllers work so it stands to reason the wheel will too? (Assuming its cabled of course..) Not sure on the price but from some experience i know its a good wheel, has force feedback (unknown compatibility) and is fairly chunky for a good feel. Do keep it in mind.
