360 vs 240?

Question....

Can you use the 240 wheels to play 360 games or am I going to have to make some kooky universal mount for both???

Alright Gurus...HOLLA!!

You can't really use 270 degree wheels for 360 degree wheel games (you usually have to spin the wheel a lot).

You can use a 360 wheel for 270 wheel games, but IMHO it is not very good.  OK it's playable but if you are a fan of 270 games then it's just not the same.  Play OutRun with a spinner and you'll see what I mean...

If you are a fan of 360 games, but don't care as much for 270 games, then you could probably just use the 360.  I personally am going to go for both if all goes to plan :)

I'm with minwah on this.

270 degree wheels act just like keyboard buttons on 360 games, so you don't much better control than with a keyboard.

I'm going to do both types, also.
