Choosing between sim racing steering wheels & bases comes down to more than appearance. You need to match the named platform to your setup, decide whether the wheel's control design matters more than its connection type, and weigh the condition of each option. This matchup puts a Ferrari-themed Xbox Series wheel against a PlayStation- and PC-named Logitech wheel with a $75.83 listed-price spread.
Quick verdict
Pick the Thrustmaster Ferrari 296 GTB when the Ferrari identity, Xbox Series wording, and lower listed price align with your setup. Choose the Logitech G923 when the PS4, PS5, or PC wording and a wireless connection are the deciding factors. The Thrustmaster emphasizes a 10-inch wheel, paddle shifters, and 240° rotation; the Logitech is identified as a steering wheel only and includes power cords.

Where each wheel wins
Thrustmaster wins for a Ferrari-led setup. The Ferrari 296 GTB name and Ferrari-inspired Manettino selector give it a distinct design brief. Its bungee-cord resistance and automatic-centering details add specific control features for shoppers who want more than a standard controller, without requiring a claim that one numeric specification is inherently superior.
Logitech wins for a wireless, PlayStation-centered setup. Its title names Sony PlayStation 4, Sony PlayStation 5, and PC, while its connectivity is wireless. That makes it the more direct match when those platform and connection labels are the first filters in your buying decision.
Product notes
Thrustmaster Ferrari 296 GTB Xbox Series Racing Sim Steering Wheel Black
The Thrustmaster Ferrari 296 GTB is a strong match for shoppers drawn to the Ferrari 296 GTB design and a more detailed wheel layout. The 10-inch steering wheel, paddle shifters, Manettino selector, 240° rotation, bungee-cord resistance, and automatic centering give you several concrete controls to weigh against a gamepad. Its limitation is equally clear: the item is marked open box and uses a wired connection. The compatibility wording combines Console with Xbox Series in the name, so the decision should stay tied to that named setup rather than assume support elsewhere. Black is the stated color, and the wheel is described as officially licensed Ferrari equipment.
Logitech G923 Sim Racing Steering Wheel Only Sony PlayStation 4 5 PC
The Logitech G923 makes sense for a solo racer who wants a wheel associated with the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 ecosystem, with PC also named in the title. Its maximum-player specification is one, and the package wording specifically includes the steering wheel and power cords. Those details give it a clear use case without relying on broad performance claims. The trade-offs are that it is marked used, the title says "Steering Wheel Only," and no manufacturer warranty is included. Its plastic construction is also stated, which may matter if you are comparing the physical makeup of the two options. The wireless designation is a concrete reason to consider it when cable-free connectivity is important.
Final choice by use case
- For an Xbox Series setup or Ferrari 296 GTB identity: choose the Thrustmaster, especially if its wired, open-box profile suits your plans.
- For PS4 or PS5 use with wireless connectivity: choose the Logitech G923; PC is also named in its title.
- For the lower listed price: choose the Thrustmaster. The Logitech costs $75.83 more, so that extra amount should be justified by its platform wording, wireless connection, or solo-player focus rather than by a generic performance assumption.
