Not bad price. Looks kind of cheap though.

For a few bucks more you can have a logitech wheel. Here

Yeah, I have just figured out how to get a MS FF Wheel for $54.99 shipped.

I'm still debating with myself whether to get one or not. *sigh*...if only I had unlimited money...

BAD, period.

Native Windows support is false.

CH the MFG. No longer and since the Matell computer fiasco will not support the 'Hot Wheels' racing wheel; thats what i think this is.

11.99 + is too much.

Save your money get a better product.

I was able to return mine to the merchant after much ado, you may not fare so well.

Best $10 I've spent on the computer in a long time.

I bought one of these in May, for 9.95, from Package2You.com. Total shipping was 11.63 when I ordered one wheel and a keyboard, video card, and some other stuff.

Replaying all of the driving games with it: Midtown Madness 1 & 2, Need For Speed 3, Lego Racers, Revolt, Driver etc.. What a blast. Kids really love it too.

It is seen by the computer as a 4 button USB joystick. No drivers are needed. They are sturdy, and heavy.

Went back to Package2You and ordered a case of 4, at 8.49 each. Shipping cost $26, or $6.50 per wheel, via FedX ground for a delivered cost of $15 apiece. One is already gone as a much appreciated birthday gift. We are lan playing with the other wheels.

Ive got one of these I use for Nascar Racing 4 and it works awesome . Im running WIN98 SE . It has nice clamps that hold it to a table , etc. and works very good . For sure if you don't like it your kids will . I got mine from Computergeeks , I bought 2 of them and ended up being like 14 bucks each shipped . I split the costs with my wife's cousin so I had the 14 out of pocket for this wheel . It feels pretty sturdy , not like cheap wheels Ive felt before . It's solid and heavy , and the steering is not "floppy" , it forces you back to center ,. etc.
If I needed a 2nd wheel Id jump on another of these . Of course YMMV if your not on Win98 SE as I can't tell you on anything else . My wife's cousin runs WIN ME and Ive yet to hear him complain about the wheel .

Solid wheel...picked up 2 of 'em in Santa Ana, CA to save on shipping. I've been waiting to play old school Daytona USA with a wheel and I finally get to do it. It calibrates fine under win98se and win2k. Thanks a lot!!!
