Anybody use one of these wheels?

New Wii owner here and I would like to start getting some of the driving games and a decent attachable wheel to hold the controller. I found one of these on ebay earlier but it is overseas. Searching has not led me anywhere at this point so I thought I would see if any of you have had any experience with a product like this?

Thanks, Brett

I got a steering wheel like the one in Mario Kart Wii at my local Target for like $20 (except mine's black). Once you get used to driving games on the Wii after a couple weeks, you wont really need it (unless you like the feel of it).

Mario Kart WII comes with a "wheel" for free, i havent tried it but noone has damned it to hell yet.

The only issue I see is that the wheel you've shown is connected to a base, hindering or stopping motion control. A disconnected wheel will serve you better in the longrun since all the driving games have more range of movement than just steering. If that wheel disconnects from the base I'd say go for it since the stability will be a nice bonus in some games.

So far, I've only played Mario Kart Wii with the Wheel. I think the control is great.

I haven't gotten Mario Kart Wii yet or tried the wheel, but I've only heard good things.
