How much I wonder, I was about to buy this https://www.fanatec.com/au-en/steering-wheels/csl-elite-mclaren-gt3-csqr-aus.html because some of my universal hub and flat1 wheels buttons are starting to get a spongy feels, but they still work just feel not nice and clicky, but thought I would look at xgn and saw your post and think I will wait now.

I already have a formula rim but that looks too cool not to have, but also am not sure what to do now, as much as I want it, it might be silly having 2 formula rims and no gt rim and I do use the gt rim most which is why its wearing out I guess,  decisions decisions

This looks different to what you posted , is it something different or is this like the aussie version ?

There is a more basic one that's been out a while. This one is new and supposed to be released tonight I think. If you go on the website now it shows it in the image carousel at the top for $520 but the link doesnt work. I have the standard formula rim at the moment. I'd like this one but not sure I can justify that much.

EDIT: Link works now https://www.fanatec.com/au-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-f1-2018-aus.html

It's all pointless to me, I have a CSR Elite (wheel not detachable  :'( ), so I'd have to spend on a base as well. :(
But I'll be dreaming about it tonight. :P

I am so tempted and nearly had enough drinks to justify having 2 formula rims and a gt rim I am annoyed with

I copied this from Reddit

 I think this is the non-"limited" edition, which was featured in a recent Youtube video.

It's gone, was limited edition so probably no more, unless they have a enough demand for it or something. Looked really nice and almost hit the buy button also, but decided not to since one wheel and a button box will suffice for for me, although had I known they were releasing this I would have bought it sold my forza gt wheel and not bothered with the box.

I'm not convinced it's gone. maybe the yellow version but as per Phil's screenshot there is another version of it that's all black.

You might be right there, I didn't look close enough before. All black looks a better too, imo
