Bought it, since it is way cheaper than any other branded round wheel to play some Rally. Exceeded my expectations. You can even use the QR that is selectable with a Simagic Wheelbase, the only thing is that the wheel wont be perfectly alligned with other Simagic wheels, but I don't mind that, since I don't swap my steering wheel often and you only have to recenter your wheelbase.
Delivery was kinda scetchy, but as far as I am concerned, this wasn't a problem with Simsonn. I ordered it to Austria and after some issues it was delivered withing 9 days without any extra cost.

Simsonn GT2 Wheel Review — Rally-Ready on a Budget
I’ve spent the last few weeks putting the Simsonn GT2 through its paces, connected to a Simucube Pro 2 base, and I can say this without hesitation:
It’s one of the best budget rally wheels I’ve ever used. Not just “good for the price” — genuinely solid, reliable, and rally-capable.
Build Quality
- Zero flex in the rim — even under heavy load, it holds firm
- Solid faceplate — no creaks, no twist, no dead zones
- Buttons — not premium, but they work well and are placed logically
- Mounting — clean fit to the Simucube base, no wobble or play
For £139.99, I expected compromises. What I got was a wheel that feels like it belongs in a much higher tier.
Force Feedback Performance
Once connected to the Simucube Pro 2 and tuned properly, the GT2 delivers clean, responsive feedback with no artificial noise. Here’s how I shaped it:
- Friction: 8 — gives tyre texture and resistance
- Damping: 11 (hardware), 7 (game) — stabilizes the wheel without dulling feel
- Static Force Reduction: 9% — keeps forces clean and predictable
- No spring or wave effects — all disabled for realism
The result is a wheel that feels alive in your hands — especially on gravel, snow, and mixed surfaces. It catches slides, communicates weight transfer, and never feels vague.
Brake Curve Tuning
I built a modular brake profile to match the wheel’s rally feel:
- Min: 5% — early bite without waking the pedal too soon
- Mid: 42% — perfect balance between modulation and rotation
- Max: 96% — trims the top-end to prevent late lockups
This curve eliminated nose dive, restored rotation, and gave me confidence in every braking zone. It’s now my baseline for rally stages.
Rally Performance
The GT2 shines in rally:
- Predictable under pressure — no flex, no surprises
- Responsive in transitions — great for hairpins and weight shifts
- Clean signal chain — no grain, no ghost inputs
- Works beautifully with SimHub dashboards and telemetry
I’ve tested it across EA WRC and AC Rally, and it’s never let me down. Once tuned, it behaves like a proper rally wheel — not a toy.
Final Verdict
“Very impressed. No flex at all. Buttons aren’t premium but work really well. For £139.99, it’s made very well and feels great for rally.”
If you’re looking for a cheap, reliable, rally-focused wheel, the Simsonn GT2 deserves serious consideration. It’s not hype — it’s performance per pound.

Quick delivery and awesome wheel for the price . Only gripe is it could come with nuts for the bolts otherwise top notch wheel.

My most expensive buy on aliexpress but Im happy with the purchase. It's not a toy! It looks very well made with quality materials. Im most impressed with shifter paddles they are snappy and feel really good. Even the other buttons feel solid. Only reason the wheel gets only 4 stars is the rim itself. I ordered the leather one but got the alcantara version. I would have done better if I ordered only the base plate. But even when I overlook the wrong rim Im prety satified.

I’m thrilled with this button box! I already had a wheel so I got the aluminum version button box standalone and bolted it together with the provided bolts. This thing is solid! Very robust. All the buttons mapped easily in all my sims and the paddles feel excellent. I did have to adjust one of the paddles but wasn’t too bad with a small hex key. The inner, smaller red bar on the shifter adjusts the strength of the detent, too tight will make it stick open, too lose and it feels sloppy so just turning it just right makes a huge difference. Overall I’m thrilled with the value of this box!

My first time using a real quick release so I don’t have anything to compare it to but it is very solid and the finish is great. There is absolutely zero wiggle or tolerance when the ring is latched onto my VRS base, completely solid. The ball configuration is 4 on top, 6 on bottom. I’m not worried about interconnectivity between QRs but something you want to take note of if you are.
