Quick Answer
Evetech delivers racing wheels to Fourways (north Johannesburg, Sandton corridor) in 1–2 business days via courier. The Logitech G29 (R3,500) and Thrustmaster T300RS GT (R7,500) are the two most popular picks among SA sim racers — both are PS5 and PC compatible. Place your order before 12:00 on a weekday for same-day dispatch from the Evetech warehouse.
Delivery Timeline and What You Need to Do
Fourways sits within the Sandton/Joburg north courier zone — orders typically arrive next business day from dispatch. You will receive tracking updates via SMS or email after dispatch. Racing wheel boxes are large (50–60 cm on the long side) and moderately heavy (5–8 kg) — ensure someone is available to sign for the delivery. If no one is home, the courier will typically attempt re-delivery or hold the parcel at a depot for collection.
Racing Wheel Shortlist for Fourways Buyers
- Logitech G29 (~R3,500): Best entry pick. 900° rotation, gear-driven FFB, official PS5/PC licence. Includes floor pedals, works with Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa on PC.
- Logitech G923 (~R4,500): Adds TrueForce haptic feedback for supported titles. Step up if you play Gran Turismo 7 seriously on PS5.
- Thrustmaster T300RS GT (~R7,500): Belt-driven, brushless motor, 1,080° rotation. 4 Nm torque makes it the minimum tier for serious simulation.
- Fanatec CSL DD (~R14,000): 8 Nm direct-drive for iRacing, ACC, and PC sim enthusiasts. The premium tier that delivers professional-grade force feedback.
Setting Up Your Wheel in a Fourways Home
Fourways open-plan homes and apartments typically have the desk or table space for a wheel clamp setup. The G29 and G923 clamp to desks up to 5 cm thick — add a rubber mat under the pedal plate to prevent sliding on tile or laminate floors (common in Fourways estates). For dedicated sim setups, a cockpit rig (R3,500–R8,000) gives a proper seating position and keeps the pedal plate from moving during aggressive braking inputs.
FAQ
Can Logitech racing wheels be used with a PS5 without any extra setup?
Yes — the Logitech G29 and G923 are officially PS5 licensed. Plug in via USB, enable the wheel in PS5 settings under Accessories, and launch a compatible sim title. No drivers or adapters are needed. Gran Turismo 7, WRC, and F1 series all recognise both wheels automatically.
Is there a difference between G29 and G923 force feedback on PS5?
Yes — the G923 adds TrueForce, which uses the game's audio engine to generate haptic feedback for road texture and tyre slip. In Gran Turismo 7 specifically, TrueForce is supported and provides noticeably better tyre-feel than the G29's standard rumble feedback. The R1,000 price gap is worth it for GT7 players; less important for titles that don't support TrueForce.
What happens if the racing wheel I ordered is out of stock after I pay?
Evetech contacts you with an estimated restock date or an equivalent alternative. You can hold the order, substitute, or cancel for a full refund. Racing wheels have periodic stock interruptions due to global manufacturing cycles — ordering early is the best strategy, particularly before major sim racing game launches.
