Second Hand as good as new G27 like the man above said will give you the best bang per buck money can buy. I haven't used any of the other wheels mentioned. But for a starter wheeler you can't go wrong. I own two G25 myself, purchased the one in 2007 which my mate is using to this day.
*Its took quite a beating over the years shows a few marks and the Force feed back isn't quite as good as it once was* pedals stick a tad bit and need taking apart every few years to be cleaned out.
I payed around £140-£160 for it off here. Could ebay it today and still get at least £50-60 for it. As everything can be repaired dead easy on them. If the pots go on the pedals its a very cheap fix.
Keep your eye on the members mart, Fleabay*The odd good one comes up* If you have access to I-racing. Theres almost one being sold on there forums every week.
The T500 and the higher end fanatec wheels are better, but as a starter wheel you really cant go wrong. If you decide you like sim racing and enjoy the wheel and get a lot of use out of it go ahead get one of the better wheels. Bang the G27 on ebay and you sell it for not far off what your pay for a good condition second hand one today. I saw one on the I-racing forums the other day for £150.
Overall the forcefeed back could be stonger and delivered smoother. But its fine, Your not going to loose any speed from it. The package itself nothing comes close for price. The Pedals for the price are awesome, a few cheap mods and you have your self and very very good setup.
I love mine apart from rubbing it over with a duster and taking a can of electrical cleaner to the pedals once every few years, They just work.... I'd buy another one tomorrow if this one broke.
O and the one I have sat next to me, came as good as new still in a brand new box and the wheel still had half the plastic on. Smelt Brand new. pedals looked like they had been used no more than a hand full of times. Got it in the MM some one was selling it for £40 Deal of the year.

Lauda's ferrari (F1 with an H-shifter and clutch?) and maybe Senna's Lotus ?
hopefully not! Hoping the car doesn't have *too* much downforce like the newer cars, should be good considering the era. Wonder what engine tune it will have, I know the lotus they're planing on adding is going to include the qualifying spec. That'll be brutal!
