Boy this thing is amazing looking! And initial impressions from people that have tried it say that it's on par with some of the wheels in the 1k-2k range. The base is going to be 450 from what I heard and then you have a choice of different rims, these rims are REAL regulation sized rims. In fact one video of the BMW M3 GT2 rim shows the guy driving a lap around a course getting out and taking the SAME rim out of the car and sticking it on the racing sim. This thing looks phenomenal! All CNC metal construction and such. Can support over 100 buttons I think I read.
Here it is with the basic F1 rim, there will be an advanced one that is a replica of what they actually use in F1.
Here is the window on the top to see the innards.
Here's the M3 GT2 wheel that the guy actually took out of the car and went straight to the racing rig.
Here are a couple video's introducing it, the owner of the company is from Germany so he's got a strong accent.

It uses a quick release hub so you can swap any wheel rim they have for it right onto it even inside the game. It's compatible with PC and PS3, there is another version that's compatible with PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 but it's got less features because Microsoft won't license anything for the 360 that has features the 360 can't use. That wheel is called the CSR Elite, it's got the same base but limited buttons and a bit different buttons. Also it does not have the quick release hub, It is getting some optional rims as well but you have to bolt them on.
