I may have to invest in a wheel.

Any advice on a good one for the 360??

Only two options (unlike PC and PS3):

 1)  a cheap X360 mircosoft wireless wheel  (you can hook up G25/G27 pedals if you have a set)

 2)  a more expensive Fanatecs  911 Turbo  wheel.

 Fanatec Turbo is clearly the best 360 wheel when it comes to features (clutch, gear shifter, wheel adjustablity, 900 degress turning) yet some of the fastest times on Forza3 were from those who used X360  wireless wheel.  I personally wouldn't buy the Fanatec  911Turbo unless you are planning to get more into racing sims including PC.  X360 wireless is the better option for the casual sim racer.

 X360 wireless wheel has only 270 degrees of wheel turn which is perfect for a F1 game.

 

I'm gald you added the last sentence. As any 900 degree wheel for F1 is just plain wrong. F1 enthusiasts must own a 240 degree wheel turn as it will be the closest set up you can get. Also the official M$ wheel has great FF to. And paddle shifts.

Yeah no.. I have the Driving Force GT and while it's 900 degree, developers can limit the usable range. So having a 900 degree wheel beats not having one any day.

OT: F1 2010 will be day 1 for me.
