Sim racing and a wheel

Given the great reviews, I recently purchased both Viper Racing and
Midtown Madness.  I have played racing games in the past (ICR, ICR2,
and Nascar), but not for very long.  For some reason I would lose
interest.  Upon the purchase of these two new games, I also purchased
a wheel.  Not knowing how much of a difference it would make, I
purchased a $50 TM Charger.  I really like using the wheel for racing.
It may improve the games longevity.  A few questions:

1) Does anyone have any opinions of this wheel?  Just curious how it
stacks up.  Mine came with pedals.

2) The wheel feels a little "notchy" when I make minute turning
adjustments in Viper Racing.  Any way to smooth this out?

3) I have played aroung with the dead zone and senstivity adjustments
in both games, but cannot find the sweet spot.  I intuitively
understand what these two settings accomplish, but I do not understand
their dynamic.  Does anyone have tips for making these adjustments?

Use no dead zone and change sensitivity untill it feels right.
