## Description

Designed for sim racers seeking precision and realism, the T248 features an advanced hybrid drive force feedback system that delivers powerful, detailed sensations while maintaining smooth and responsive control. Feel every curb, drift, and braking zone with enhanced clarity. The wheel includes magnetic paddle shifters for lightning-fast gear changes with a crisp, tactile response, while the included T3PM magnetic pedal set provides durable, contactless precision for consistent braking and throttle control. A built-in interactive display allows drivers to adjust settings and view racing data on the fly, keeping focus where it matters — on the track.

Perfect for racers upgrading from entry-level wheels or building a serious sim racing setup.

Review: Solid option if you’re not looking to pay direct drive prices - Before buying, be aware that: 1. You’ll want to have Windows 10/11 on a PC, even if you’re an Xbox gamer, so that you can download essential firmware updates. Do not overlook this, even if it means bringing the wheel to a friend’s house to perform the update. As long as you have a Windows computer, it is an easy update to perform. 2. It is well worth experimenting with the built-in FFB settings (1, 2 and 3) so you can have a great set-up for the driving feel and responsiveness you want with minimal in-game tinkering. 3. On console, you have to go with Thrustmaster accessories if you’re going to add-on an H-Shifter or handbrake, so look those up and keep that in mind if you think you’ll want to upgrade your setup. It’s the same deal with other manufacturers like Logitech—accessories have to be from within the same ecosystem unless you’re playing on PC. That said, it is tough to beat for the price. It has a good amount of torque with its gear/belt hybrid system (you’ll get far less if you settle for the gear-driven T150 or Logitech G923), and configuration through its digital display is convenient, especially as settings carry from game to game. It is not perfect, especially as it bugs out like everything else on XSX from time-to-time. However, it is an overall satisfying wheel to drive, and will probably make you want to own a full-blown sim rig at some point in the future.
Review: Okay I guess - Easy peezie install, nice but cheap feeling all plastic steering wheel makes noise when you squeeze it cheap..

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the wheel able be removed from the base?**
A: This racing wheel can not be removed from the servo base on the T248.

**Q: How does this compare to the t300rs gt?**
A: Generally belt drives are quieter and can often provide higher FFB torque.
T300 has ~4nm of torque
T248 has 70% more torque than the T150 (from the TM docs/video) so that would seem to be about 2.1 * 1.70 = ~3.6nm
But different drive wheels are hard to compare on just torque values alone. Belt drives generally have better holding torque, while geared wheels can sometime produce better vibration like peaky force. TM is I guess trying to get the best of both worlds with their hybrid wheels.
FFB is more than just torque, wheel speed and granularity can matter a lot. The motor drivers from one wheel can be better than another

**Q: What shifters are compatible with with this thrustmaster wheel?**
A: The T248 comes with paddle shifters.  If you would like to add a manual shifter, we recommend the TH8A shifter from Thrustmaster.

**Q: Will it work with a 220V outlet? Will I need a transformer?**
A: The adapter is rated for 100-240V. All you need is a plug adapter to fit into the electric socket.

### ⭐ Don’t purchase
*by M***Y on November 17, 2025*

It’s a decent starter wheel, but for a little bit more you can get a much better wheel somewhere else. Mine broke within a year and the customer service team is little to no help to figure out a solution
