Mario Kart and Wii wheel

Last night while searching information on Mario Kart, I found a Sears online deal at http://www.dealrocker.com . They are offering Mario Kart includes Wii wheel for $45. I am Looking at buying it, but I want experts' opinions before any purchase decision. Can anyone tell me how much this wheel is different from Wii remote? Looking forward to know your thoughts.

Thanks..

If you've not played Mario Kart you shouldn't even hesitate in making the purchase. I prefer the Wii wheel. The game is almost unplayable without it if you just want to use the Wii Remote. Reaching the buttons is easy and it just feels good in your hand. Don't think twice about making that purchase.
