Steering wheels in Australia?

Hello people,

I have been reading with interest the various recommendations for
steerings wheels, as I plan to purchase one shortly. However, many of
them do not seem to be available in Australia (or Adelaide, at least),
so I would like some suggestions from the Aussies in this NG about
their personal preferences.

At this stage I am budgeting up to AU $200, but will go higher if
given good reason to so do. I am planning to use it primarily for
GPL (which I purchased some 18 months ago, but have never really used,
as my crappy joystick made it impossible to drive).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Anthony.

IF he can still find those, it'll be a lot more then the $200 he wants to
spend :(  but yep, go for one of these.  if not a the new lwff gp is not a bad
compromise.

Games Wizards have the new LWFFGP for $159 at present which is $90 off
usual price.

I have a Logitech formula wheel that I can no longer use due to XP. It is
the all black one. Still in good nick and I am looking to sell.
