Verdict

FIT

updated 29 Jul 2026

Belt drive instead of gear drive, plus a stand with real angle adjustment. On PlayStation the spend goes into mounting rather than torque, because licensing caps what the base can be.

Why each part is here

T300 RS GT (wheel and pedal set)

Belt drive rather than gear, and unlike the fixed-rim sets the wheel detaches, so a different Thrustmaster rim can go on later. The T3PA-GT pedals included have metal heads but stay potentiometer based, which is the first thing worth replacing.

T300 RS GT rim

Detachable, unlike the Logitech rims, but only onto other Thrustmaster rims. Listed separately to keep build sheets consistent.

T300 RS GT pedal set (T3PA)

Included in the box. Potentiometer based, so braking is measured by travel: fine to start, replaced by a load cell the moment consistency matters.

Apex Wheel Stand

A heavier folding stand that names the brands it is pre-drilled for rather than claiming to fit everything: MOZA, Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec. Still a stand, so past roughly 8 Nm it will flex under load, and the drilling is quoted by brand rather than by model.
