Best PC Steering Wheel 2016
Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel
Best selling gaming steering wheel of 2016 - the new version of G27, PC compatible. They released two models, this and G29, but as we're focusing on PC steering wheels, then G920 is the choice here, but be sure to check the game compatibility for it, if you're gonna play something particular. From popular titles, it is a very good steering wheel for Project Cars, and works well with Forza Motorsport 6 on Xbox One. Also, don't get too discouraged by some bad reviews and check when they've been written, cause there were some issues with G920 when it just came out, that have already been solved by latest firmware. One more thing, people were angry about, was the lack of shifter, but as there are some good discounts by now, you can save those extra $50 for this purpose.

Thrustmaster VG T300RS Officially Licensed PS4/PS3 Force Feedback Racing Wheel
Thrustmaster is another big player when it comes to gaming steering wheels, along with Logitech, and T300RS is my personal favourite. It feels more realistic, very smooth, including the smoothness of the Force Feedback. Right now when I'm writing this, it has a very good offer for $300; if you can catch a discount like that, just take it, you won't regret it!

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel
Well, yeah, it's still one of the best PC steering wheels on the market and I would get smashed with tomatos by excluding it from the top 5. The trick about this one would get lucky with some crazy discount offer or take it used cheap, otherwise I would recommend the G920.
The powerful, dual-motor force feedback mechanism with helical gearing smoothly and accurately simulates traction loss
Six-speed shifter with push-down reverse gear allows you to quickly choose exactly the right gear.
RPM/shift indicator LEDs integrate with racing game software to indicate when the user should shift gears.
Realistic 11-Inch wheel with leather-wrapped rim provides a more comfortable, true-to-life racing experience for hours on end.
Steel gas, brake, and clutch pedals deliver precise throttle, braking, and shifting control for heightened realism.

Thrustmaster VG T150 Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PlayStation 4
IMO, the best budget PC steering wheel. Would recommend the T300RS over it, but if you're not sure about the buck your wheel deserves, then go VG T150. This is one of Thrustmaster models you really can trust.

The Forza CSR is one of their budget solutions and still delivers quality of this brand.
