WingMan? Formula? GP

I can get one for dirt cheap ($29 Canadian).  I know that it is not Force
Feedback, but the FF version is $129 Canadian.  I don't play Nascar 4 that
much but would love a good cheap wheel.
Is this the ticket?

Thanks

I recently purchased a formula gp from futureshop for 19.99 CND and haven't
had any problems yet (1 Month).  If you don't have a wheel and you want to
have more fun playing your sims and you don't want to spend too much then I
would pick it up.

Jeff,
I have a WingMan? Formula GP, not the "T", that I use for GP3. It's as good
as my old T2 was but nothing fantastic, easy to mount and trouble free. I
wish there was a better bearing at the wheel end , my only complaint, same
for the T2 though. Cheap wheel, oh well!

Jeff:

Yeah, I'd get one. I have one myself. The only weak point is the
potentiometers. I started having spiking problems after about 4 months
of hard use. By using ***, then a TV tuner cleaner/lubricant, I
was able to clear the spiking up completely. It's a little
inconvienent, but you can't beat the price.
