Question PC Racing Sim peripheral hardware - Steering base ?

[jimthenagual]

I hope I posted this in the right forum, please move if there's a better spot for it.

I am looking for some advice. My son is JUST getting into PC racing sim games. Currently Forza Horizon 5. We have a really old force GT wheel and pedals, and it feels like a good time to upgrade.

I'm looking at getting a direct drive wheel base, and using my own (imprezza) steering wheel if that is even possible. Would I need an adapter for that? I'm just trying to save costs, and get the best I can for a limited budget. I don't want to go too much over say.... $500-700 USD for the wheel, pedals and a basic shifter. I can go higher if necessary, that's just the first number that comes to mind.

I am looking at this right now:

Any members in this forum who are up to date on hardware and can steer me in the right direction? Or know of a decent forum/group I can look into for ideas? I'm really JUST at the beginning of learning this all, and would love some help getting my head around it.

The system he has is:
Ryzen 5 7600
32GB DDR5
RX6800
1080p 280Hz monitor
