Pros and cons
- Removable via Thrustmaster quick release
- Grippy rubber rim
- Large metal paddle shifters
- Few buttons and no rotaries or display
- Plain plastic hub feels dated
Watch out: Thrustmaster's quick release fits only Thrustmaster QR bases (not the fixed-rim T128/T248).
What it feels like
- Grip
- Weight
- Clickiness
- Reach
The rubber rim feels grippy but fairly basic, with a standard GT-style thickness.
Paddles are plastic and give a light, slightly hollow click.
At 28 cm it sits at a comfortable middle size that stays easy to turn.
Feels like the steering wheel of a mainstream hatchback, not a sports car.
What the T300 RS GT rim works with
- Comes in the box with the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Edition (PlayStation/PC); it isn't sold on its own.
- Attaches with the Thrustmaster quick release, so it fits bases that use the same system.
- With the right base it works on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
This is the round 28 cm rim that ships with the T300 RS GT bundle, so you can't really shop for it on its own. It's a conventional GT-style wheel: rubber-coated grip, two paddle shifters and PlayStation-labeled face buttons. That suits first-rig buyers who want a no-fuss rim for road cars and GT cars. The 28 cm diameter is a sensible middle size. It isn't as tiny as a formula wheel, and it won't feel oversized on a desk clamp. The rim attaches through Thrustmaster's quick-release, so later you can swap in other Thrustmaster rims. The trade-offs are the usual ones at this price. The paddles are plastic, with a lighter and less precise click than metal ones. There's no display, and the button layout is fixed to PlayStation symbols, which is cosmetic on PC. One compatibility point to check: the T300 RS GT base is sold for PlayStation and PC, not Xbox, so the entry's Xbox listing looks wrong. For a first rig it's a perfectly serviceable starting wheel, and the rim is the part you'd most likely upgrade first.
Questions buyers ask
Can I use this rim on Xbox?
The T300 RS GT bundle is sold for PlayStation and PC. The base has no Xbox support, so the rim can't give you Xbox compatibility.
Can I swap it for another rim later?
Yes. It uses Thrustmaster's quick-release mount, so other Thrustmaster-compatible rims can fit the T300 base. Check each rim's listing for compatibility first.
Can I buy this rim separately?
It's mainly supplied inside the T300 RS GT bundle. Separate availability is limited, and similar Thrustmaster rims are sold as add-ons.
