>>I hear the wheel itself is HUGE, can you give us an idea how "huge" it is?
>>I'm very interested in this package but would prefer not to drive an 18
>>wheeler. Also can you comment on the shift paddles, some of reviews
>>mentioned difficulty in reaching them.
>>Thanks, Dino

>HUGE? It is about the same diameter as the Thrustmaster T2.
>Estimate 10-11". It is also nice and thick, like a racecar wheel.
>It feels great. The angle is perfect, much like a Thrustmaster
>T2. It is very heavy (shipping weight 26lbs) and has metal in
>the pedals and base instead of plastic. The shifters are loose
>feeling, to me, and are positioned too low. I simply map another
>button for shifting. The buttons I use are directly under my thumbs.
