It all comes down to your budget. T150 is (as far as I am aware) a decent wheel and the cheapest with the FFB. I have a T300RS and have been happy with it. It also has the possibility to switch the steering wheel and I'm thinking of getting the F1 rim later this year (T150 don't have this option). T500 is the most expensive one but probably the best one (never driven with it). Logitech has G29 which is more reliable but it uses older technology (I think...) :lol: 

What comes to stands, I have a Playseat Challenge and I have been very happy with it. It's easy to move around and at least I can get a nice, comfortable position. I was going to buy Wheelstand Pro but had no decent seats where I could play naturally.

I would recommend you to check "insidesimracing" channel on YouTube. Their reviews helped me to choose my T300

Sounds like a good choice of wheel. Depending on your budget the playseat revolution or evolution are pretty cool, I bought the evolution about a year a go and love it. Need to have a but of space for it though.

I might price it second hand see if i can get it cheaper but i think the full price investment might be worth it the evolution has that the built in surround sound

I haven't seen one with surround sound but sounds good if they do that now. If you get a thrustmaster wheel I recommend the t3pa or t3pa Pro pedals. The cost can all mount up though, I built mine up over time.

Wheel: thrustmaster tx (for Xbox1 and pc) with the f1 rim add-on.

Stand/seat: playseat challenge. A great seat for a relative low price. Looks good and easy to storage if space is an issue.

I have the thrustmaster tx with f1 add on, like it alot! 
In f1 2015 it doesnt have a really strong force feedback i think? I dont know if its the wheel or the game, have anyone played other games with it?

I would hold of on the T500, their expensive line is getting a refresh with a completely new line of wheels and technology somewhere this year. (for their top end.

Need the gear shift for the buttons and D-pad on my G27, so where do you mount that? All the pictures of those Playseats I have seen in the advertising only show's the wheel but no shifter.

If you look on the playseat site you will see the shifter mounting plate that you can buy as an extra.

Yeah you're right, think there a few different types you can buy. I was tempted at one point when I got dirt rally but never got round to it
