Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel RS
The ClubSport Steering Wheel RS is an enthusiast round leather rim with magnetic paddles and RevLEDs on the Fanatec QR2 system. It is best for GT, oval, and road-car racing on a Fanatec base, where a classic round shape beats a flat-bottom formula rim. Skip it if you are on Xbox (not licensed) or want an OLED telemetry screen — it has only RevLEDs and a small readout. It is leather, not suede.

Kyle Romero — I own and use this
I swap this round rim on for NASCAR and dirt — a fully round wheel just makes sense for ovals, where the flat-bottom formula rim fights you. The leather and build quality are excellent, and it shares the same QR2 and magnetic paddles as the rest of my Fanatec gear, so swapping takes seconds.
Worth being clear about: it's a leather wheel, not suede/alcantara (Fanatec's suede round wheels are different, pricier SKUs), and being a plain round rim it has no OLED telemetry screen (just RevLEDs and a small readout) — you give up the Formula's display for the classic shape. For me that's the right trade for oval racing; for road/GT it's a coin-flip with the Formula.
