Hey, good question.
If you're just going to very casually race, and want something beyond a controller, I highly recommend going on Facebook Marketplace and picking yourself up a used G29 or T128, T248... or any other entry level FFB wheel base compatible with PlayStation. Make sure you place close attention to the PlayStation compatibility as most wheels do not offer this.
This will allow you to get into sim racing for very little money (around $100), play casually, see if you like it, and if you do get the bug and want to upgrade down the line, you can just as easily sell the wheel on marketplace again, get yourself something a little nicer, and you won't really be down any money. As per buying a G29 or a comparable bundle NEW, I wouldn't recommend it as they're still overpriced for what they offer in my opinion.
Anyways, if you want to learn more about purchasing from Marketplace, I've made a guide on how to get into sim racing for $100, you can read it here: https://ocsimracing.com/guides/sim-racing-for-cheap/
Have a good one!
