Logitech RS Steering Wheels Compared
Logitech RS Steering Wheels Compared β Which New Wheel Should You Choose?
Logitech has expanded its sim racing ecosystem with a brand-new range of modular steering wheels that give sim racers far more flexibility than traditional monolithic controllers. At the heart of this lineup is the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub, which serves as the central electronics core, and four distinct wheel rims that attach to it, offering different form factors and racing styles.
Whether youβre racing GT cars, road cars, rally machines, or open-wheelers, this guide walks you through each wheel option β covering build, performance, compatibility, pros/cons, and recommendations so you can pick the right wheel for your setup.
π§ What Is the Logitech RS Steering Series?
The Logitech RS Steering Wheels lineup is part of Logitechβs new βRacing Series,β designed to work with its RS Wheel Hub β a modular interface loaded with buttons, encoders, and paddles that lets you swap wheel rims without losing control functionality.
This modular design moves away from fixed wheelbases and rims, giving you the flexibility to tailor your cockpit setup based on racing discipline, ergonomics, and personal preference.
π§ Core Component β RS Wheel Hub
At the center of this system is the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub:
- Acts as the electronics and input core for all steering wheels in the RS system
- Houses buttons, rotary encoders, paddles, and quick-release electronics
- Connects to Logitech wheelbases (Pro or others with compatibility)
- Compatibility comes in versions for PS/PC or Xbox/PC consoles
- Priced around $129.99 / $149.99 depending on platform
The hub is essential β none of the wheel rims have onboard electronics on their own, so you must pair them with a compatible hub to function.
ποΈ Wheel Options β Overview
Logitech currently offers four official wheel rims that attach to the RS wheel hub:
- RS Track Wheel β Open-top GT-style wheel
- RS Round Wheel β Traditional round wheel rim
- MOMO SIM GT 320 Steering Wheel β Premium 320 mm round wheel
- MOMO SIM GT-Racer 290 Steering Wheel β Premium 290 mm GT/track rim
Below we break each one down so you know which best fits your racing style.
π₯ 1. RS Track Wheel β Bold and Race-Focused
Designed with a GT-style open-top layout, the RS Track Wheel offers an experience thatβs reminiscent of real GT or open-wheel racing wheels, with free space on top for a more immersive feel.
Key Points
- Great for GT racing simulations, endurance events, or formula trading
- Offers sporty feel and lightweight handling
- Works seamlessly with the RS Hub
- Extremely affordable (around $69.99)
π Best for racers who want precise steering and fast transitions
π Might feel small or awkward for very wide turning angles (users reported itβs better for F1/GT than rally)
π 2. RS Round Wheel β Classic All-Purpose Design
The RS Round Wheel is Logitechβs take on a classic circular steering wheel β ideal for racers who prefer a road-car feel or diverse racing disciplines. (simracingsetup.com)
Key Points
- Traditional full round design, easy to hold at any angle
- Great for road car sims, drifting titles, rally games
- Budget price (~$69.99)
π Versatile choice that fits most games and disciplines
π Some users say the size (~29 cm) can feel small for real-car realism β a 320 mm MOMO rim is sometimes preferred instead
π 3. MOMO SIM GT 320 β Luxurious GT Wheel
Taking things up a notch, the MOMO SIM GT 320 rim is a premium wheel crafted in Italy with hand-wrapped microfiber grips and anodized aluminum construction. Itβs a larger 320 mm diameter compatible with the RS hub, offering a richer, more comfortable feel for endurance or road racing.
Highlights
- 320 mm diameter feels closer to real-world road wheels
- Premium materials for comfort and grip
- Ideal for longer sessions or detailed steering feel
π Excellent ergonomics and build quality
π Higher price (~$199) and still requires the RS hub separately
π 4. MOMO SIM GT-Racer 290 β Premium Compact Option
The MOMO SIM GT-Racer 290 shares the same handcrafted Italian build quality as the 320 wheel, but in a 290 mm diameter, making it a perfect choice for GT/track racing or setups with more focused steering inputs.
Highlights
- 290 mm size ideal for aggressive racing titles
- High-end materials with microfiber grip
- Compatible with RS hub
π Smaller size can feel more direct and race-ready
π Still premium-priced and might be too focused for casual racers
π§ RS Wheels in Context β MOMO vs RS Branded
One key decision when buying is whether you want a basic RS rim or a premium MOMO rim. The difference isnβt just branding β the MOMO rims use higher-end materials and craftsmanship with hand-wrapped grips and thicker anodized aluminum bodies, whereas the RS wheels are more cost-effective alternatives.
MOMO wheels β better grip, comfort and durability
RS wheels β excellent value and perfectly functional for most racers
π Compatibility & Ecosystem
All RS wheels attach to the RS Wheel Hub, which then connects to your wheel base β including Logitech G Pro, RS50 base and older Logitech wheels via the quick-release adapter.
Important Notes
β Make sure to buy the correct RS Wheel Hub version for your platform (e.g., Xbox vs PS/PC)
β The RS group works with Logitechβs modular system, expanding choice without replacing the base hardware entirely
β MOMO wheels, RS rims, and future third-party rims can work through adapters with some loss of native electronics if hub isnβt used

My name is Michael βMickβ Carter, and Iβm a dedicated sim racing enthusiast with a deep love for motorsport. I first discovered sim racing in 2015 when a friend introduced me to a Logitech G27 and Assetto Corsaβan experience that immediately hooked me. Since then, Iβve gone from basic gear to advanced direct drive setups, VR headsets, and custom racing rigs, constantly refining my driving technique and equipment.
I mainly race in iRacing, ACC, and rFactor 2, focusing on GT3 endurance and open-wheel events. Iβm not a professional driverβIβm simply someone who enjoys the craft of racing: learning car behavior, improving lap times, and battling for position with respect and skill.
I share what Iβve learned so others can build setups they enjoy and grow their own passion for sim racing. For me, the joy is in improving, one race at a time.
