I’ve used four steering wheels in my life, in order of usage: Thrustmaster T2, MS Sidewinder, Logitech Momo, Logitech G25. My favorite was the Momo, perfect racing formula steering wheel, enough buttons, perfect ergonomics, but poor pedals - the potentiometer had a tendency to fail. I never liked the other three wheels. I still own the G25, the Momo broke the pedals again and I sold it later.
But still, to answer your question, I used the Thrustmaster T2 in DOS racing games like F1GP, in early 90’s; The MS Sidewinder in Win 9x was used between GP2/GP3 and MS Indy Precision Racing game, as well as the Papyrus IndyCar Racing. The quality of the material looked like s**t for me but it worked. The Sidewinder was not perfect and I remember I broke it but meets your requirements for Win 9x games. The Momo is for XP-era and above computers. The Momo and G25 were used for GP4 and rFactor, respectively.
The Thrustmaster T2 was my #1 choice for DOS games (I dunno about Win 95) like F1GP, the first installment of Geoff Crammond’s GPx series. T2 worked fine for F1GP but I can’t remember if I used it with GP2. I probably used it with GP2 for a while - I have a photo of me in 1997 with that steering wheel, and GP2 was released in 1996. In that photo the monitor is blurred because of the flash, but I was probably playing F1 ‘97, the PC version of the same playstation game.
So basically DOS/95 - T2, 98 - Sidewinder, XP and above - Momo, 7 and above - G25.
