    its a stepper motor - not suitable for a DD wheel

    you need a DC motor or a servo motor

    yes you can find a cheap DC motor, and use a pulley and belt to get a smoother experience than logi wheel.
    I use my6812 motor, and it's have an ok torque

    I dont want to use any pulley or something like that, I'd like to do a direct drive. I'll use it as a last resort.

    i can spend max 1500 PLN on the steering wheel ~ 330 eur. Its funny that Polish currency is so worthless.
    I found many step-servo motors hybrids, what is the difference between normal servo?

    if you want to do a DD , its best use a servo motor, like @Gadget999 said.
    best luck to your project!
