Xbox racing wheel?

I just got Project Gotham Racing 2 and I am wondering if there is a good racing wheel for the Xbox that works with this game or if I should just stick with the pad. thanks

Has anyone tried the Mad Catz wheel with PGR2? I am seriously wanting to get a good wheel to use with this game, it is good with a pad but it would be so much better with a good wheel.

I read a few of the other threads on the board that mentioned wheels for xbox but none seemed to give the info I needed.

There is at least 1 other thread too, because I know I gave a mini-review of the 3 different wheels I own. None perfect, but all 3 much better than the controller IMHO.

Yeah, I did a search first, that's why I posted in this most recent of the old threads instead of starting a new one.

I guess I should have mentioned that I was just wondering if there was anything new happening in the xbox wheel scene since those other threads.

I bought a MC2 Universal wheel off of Ebay for $13 (good price!). Played Nascar Racing with it yesterday, and wasn't too impressed. It seems like a good wheel, though, because it has really good calibration features and is well made.

I will report back after trying to tweak the thing some more, but I like the Logitech GT3 wheel that I have much better -- force feedback adds a lot to these wheels, even if it costs an extra $50.

Has anybody tried using one of these Logitech wheels on an Xbox using a USB->XBOX adapter? That's what I would really like to do.

Have you had a chance to use this wheel in PGR2?
