What's the best steering wheel for GameCube?
I just picked up NASCAR Thunder for $20 at BB, and love it. The game would rock with a good wheel. What should I get?

I just picked up the Universal Mad Katz MC2 wheel that works with Xbox, PS1, PS2, and Gamecube.
It is on clearance at Target for $15, which is a damn good deal! I had picked up the xbox only version of this for $60 at BB a week ago, but returned it thinking that I would eventually go to Target soon.
I read some reviews stating that there was a problem with the Xbox portion of the wheel where it supposedly made the Xbox ask you every few minutes to reconnect the controller even though it was connected, but I had no problems with it while playing Project Gotham Racing last night.
I don't have any racing games for the gamecube to try this on, but it felt good with the Xbox

no doubt the Logitech wheel that is referenced in Outlaw's post is the best wheel for Gamecube. It looks to be similar in design to the PS2 Logitech wheel, which is far and away the best wheel for the PS2.
Now if only Logitech will release a similar wheel for the Xbox...

The wheel does come with separate pedals.
Check it out at:

My local Target store had about 5 left for that price.
I would love to have a Logitech one, but as someone said before, there is no Xbox version of it yet.

Well, I went to Target and they had nothing. Best Buy has the Logitech for $50 + $30 ($80 for the complete kit). They sell a gift card with $5 off, and this weekend is a "prefered customer" weekend = 10% off. Does anyone know if the 10% can be used with the $5 off coupon? That would be a great savings.
