You definitely need this I you have a Wii. All the games are fun and all but you can’t own it without having a racing game. Seriously they are so much fun, you really feel like you’re driving. If you know someone who has or is going ti get a Wii, this would be the perfect thing to get them.

I use the wheel for ALL wii tilt ability driving games.
It’s still takes up at least 50% less room then the wheel to desk simulator accessory for other systems.
It’s designed well, makes taking the remote in/out easily, the B button is done simply & well & even has the IR window to point to menu choices in between each race so you don’t have to remove it.
I’ve used it for Cruis’n, Hot Wheels, Need for Speed games & it always helps me drive. With just the wii mote, I tend to over-steer easily, especially on corners. With the wheel, I really feel more control & when feel need to move, I will be happier with smaller movements that keep me from overreacting.

With the release of Mario Kart Wii, this new Wii Remote holder is going to be a hot item, especially if you are planning on racing against others in said game on your Wii.
But lets face it, all it is, is a plastic holder that is shaped like a wheel that your remote snaps into. And thats all there is to this accessory. Its nothing more then a holder shaped like a wheel to house your remote to give you the feeling of using a steering wheel while you play a racing game. So realize that going into the purchase that its just that and nothing more.
At least though the price is right and reasonable for the most part. This is not must get though as all the games this will be for I’m sure will play just fine without it. But it will add a little extra something that the already gimic like remote provides for the Wii. This just takes that remote factor an extra step by giving the illusion and feel of a wireless steering wheel that you can hold anywhere and use to race on a screen far away.
The choice is really yours. If you want to have the feeling of playing a racing game on the Wii with a wheel in your hands, this will work quite well for that. If its not that big a deal to you and you are fine with either a classic controler or the wii remote and nunchuk, then this isn’t that important a purchase to make. But I do think this adds something of a element to things that is worth the small one time investment it will be.
Again its just a personal choice. Its just a plastic mold, when push comes to shove. But I think its fun device either way that is a nice addition to the Wii family of accessories.

Does a fine job for the price. I do like th eTurbo wheel a little better. That i sth eone that is open on top. It seems to fit my (Bigger) hands better than this one, but this one does th ejob too.

There’s really no difference between this and the cheaper wheels, but the kids prefer this one.

This is the best accessory for any driving game. It combines the realism of driving and the ability to use the Wii Remote without having to release it from the wheel to use it.

I bought the wheel when I bought Mario Kart Wii (so I have 2 wheels). I can’t imagine playing the game without them. They make the game more interactive and fun. There are 3 kids in my household who also use the wheels, no problems or complaints so far.
You can also find this exact wheel at Wal-Mart for about $10.

We got this for an extra for Mario Kart Wii. It seems to work pretty well. I have an easier time playing the game with the wheel. It’s pretty basic, no parts to break really, so it’s pretty durable.

The concept of a Wiimote wheel was just plain hilarious. And very easy to poke fun of. Why do you need a plastic wheel that’s detached from anything? Are you going to drive with it at the top of your head? Then there’s the fact that they went through 20-iterations or so to design the wheel. And then you can go on and on about how complicated is it to design a wheel. It’s not like they needed to reinvent the wheel.
But then I actually used, and surprised surprised it was fantastic. It felt natural to use the wheel and the wiimote together. It’s comfortable and the response was just seamless. It was especially useful at keeping me from over steering as I wont to do in previous mario kart game. So yes, the wheel is definitely worth it. I don’t know how people with different hand sizes feel about the wheel, but it perfectly suited mine.
