Unfortunately racing wheels are not supported and on PC platforms the Xbox 360 controller and Keyboard are the only supported input devices for Need for Speed Rivals.
I didn't learn about this as well after I installed the game. My wfe bought it for me for Christmas at on Dec 3rd. I only opened it on the 25th and then played it for the first time on the 27th. It froze the first time I tried to play it and then learnt of the issue with no wheel support.
When I called to refund, they said I was outside the policy return period.. so I am stuck with it..
So no support for wheel, game freezing and I am stuck with it ... I am sure they are already working on the next version of the game which will have wheel support but we will be stuck with this until then.
Again, I am sure this is all the end-users fault for not researching before buying .. of course!!
