I got two of these for free. only missing one of the clamps to hold the wheel down. I have to test them, but the kid who owned them was just going to leave them in his old house. Woo for free crap.

Dude, are you willing to sell one? I mean it has to work and be in good condition so if you have two...how about selling me one?? Private message me man.

I don't think any of these type of peripherals are as enjoyable as they were a generation or two ago. The physics of games have come along so much, that standard controllers can still give the total experience. In the old days, people were wanting the arcade experience, the wheel was the bridge. Since consoles have pretty much surpassed arcades, if not contributing to their extinction, major peripherals seem to be a novelty at best.
