Only if you have neither a wheel nor a rig. The V99 gives you the controls; the ARES WING gives you the frame and seat. A wheel clamped to a desk works without the cockpit, and the cockpit is useless without a wheel.

Which is better for a small apartment?

The ARES WING, if you have the floor space while racing. It folds to 11.8 in wide with the components attached. The V99 is smaller overall but still needs a desk or table to clamp to.

Is the PXN V99 strong enough for serious sim racing?

It is entry-to-mid level. At 3.2 Nm it conveys bumps and kerbs but lacks the weight and speed of direct-drive wheels. It suits GT-style racing and casual driving games more than high-fidelity iRacing or Assetto Corsa competition.

Will the V99 fit the ARES WING cockpit?

The cockpit accepts Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec-style mounts. The V99 clamps to a desk or cockpit, so check the clamp and bolt pattern against the cockpit's wheel plate before buying the pair.

Does the V99 work on PS5?

PXN lists PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PS4. PS5 is not listed, so treat PS5 support as unconfirmed.

The cockpit is passive steel and has no motors or electronics to wear out. The V99's motors, pedals and shifter are the parts that wear, and its 16 ratings are too few to judge long-term reliability.

ARES WING Foldable Racing Simulator Cockpit vs PXN V99 3.2Nm Force Feedback Sim Racing Wheel

These are different products, not rivals: the ARES WING is a foldable steel cockpit frame, and the PXN V99 is a force-feedback wheel, pedal and shifter bundle. Buy the cockpit if you already own a wheel and need a rigid, storable rig; buy the V99 if you have a desk or rig and no wheel yet.
