- Solution to the following problem (5/1/2008): manufacturer stated that wii remotes fit fine if used with a crystal case. DX will provide a crystal case for all affected customers. This version of the wheel (when used with the free crystal case from DX) is better than the original wheel because the "new" wheel has an IR window (the original wheel blocks the IR receiver).

To inquire about your free crystal case, you may use the following link. If you would not like to receive the free crystal case, you may request for a full refund and return the wheel to us.

- Shipment Notice (5/1/2008): reports are received that a batch of wrong wheels are shipped lately. The wrong wheels have IR windows (an improvement) but the Wii Remote slot do not fit. DX sincerely apologize for this error and will offer full refunds or replacements at customer's choice. Any return shipping stamps will be reimbursed (if return is necessary). Affected customers may contact us using the following link:

Pretty decent, but annoying if you have a charger

Pros: Its a nice product, cheap and very well built. The crystal case is arguable.
 
Cons: Crystal case is hard to open, wont fit into charger (if you have one). Would possibly be annoying to change batteries because its hard to open the crystal case. Theirs a hole in the side for the nunchuck (?) or strap. Not sure but the hole isnt big enough for the nun chuck plug.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Overall it ended up in my 4 y/o cousins hands, was not of much use to me (kinda). The original 2 pictures submitted by users is not the one i recieved, i'll upload some.

Pros: Decent price
Feels pretty solid and heavy
Cheap
 
Cons: The B Button is really tricky to press when its in with the crystal case. When playing mario cart its pretty tricky to get to the button, but it is doable :-) and you get used to it. Hands get a bit tired after a while because of its heaviness.
 
Other Thoughts: Has a bit of a sharp bit, but nothing too bad.Decent price
Feels pretty solid and heavy
Cheap
 
Bottomline: If you need a wheel, I'm sure there's better ones out there - but this one is pretty good as wellThe B Button is really tricky to press when its in with the crystal case. When playing mario cart its pretty tricky to get to the button, but it is doable :-) and you get used to it. Hands get a bit tired after a while because of its heaviness.
 
					

Not bad for the price

Pros: - Cheap alternative to official Wii steering wheels
- Makes driving games more realistic
 
Cons: - Remote needs to be pushed a bit to fit in
- Could be more comfortable in your hands. Hole in back for the B button makes it uncomfortable to hold.
- Doesn't form a full wheel, somewhat weird shape.
 
Other Thoughts: Official Wii wheel isn't a lot more expensive, is more comfortable, and has a button on the back for hitting the B button.
 
Bottomline: If you don't need the luxury of an official Wii wheel, this is an affordable way to get wheels for all your friends to play Mario Kart.

Must have for racing games.

Pros: The price of these are awesome. I received the new batch (but with no crystal case) which have the IR port and also the nunchuck port on the other side. IR port makes it easy to use the wii when the wiimote is already in the steering wheel.
 
Cons: I have silicon case on my wiimotes, the fitment of the wiimote with silicon case on differs between the two steering wheels I have. One fits in loosely and the other is so snug a fit that I need to apply some pressure to get it to pop in to place.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Worth the price. I wouldn't hesitate buying another 2 if I need them again.
