depends on the wheel, an analog or 360?  many racing games where just a BIG spinner, some where analog.  I think urebelscum.speedhost.com has a list of analog racing games.

Otherwise use oscarcontrols wheel.

It is a toss up either way, get both!!

I suggest upgrading with a Dreamcast inside your cabinet.  Play some real lightgun games like House of the Dead 2 or Confidential Mission.  Ferrarri F355 Challenge is also a little more challenging than Pole Position.

Well, you are going to have to talk to Act Labs and see if they will release that info on USB guns, but I believe that is a no.

Second, there is a bunch of steering wheel stuff here.  Also check out the steeringing wheels are oscarcontrols.com
