Yeah, the wheel is a pure gimmick, and difficult to use.

Because it's a difficult motion to do without some sort of support or axis supporting the center of the wheel. With a normal wheel, there are two ways it can more: clockwise and counterclockwise. With the Wii wheel, it can also rotate, yaw, rock, twist, and every other type of movement you can think of, just because it's not anchored to a steering column of any sort.
Also, it's not very precise.
It's only redeeming factor is that it can supply some novelty value if you're playing a wacky game like ExciteTrucks or something.

My 4 yr old gets so frustrated trying to steer in "Cars Race-o-rama".

I don't bother with the wheel, just hold the wiimote horizontally.

The problem with the Wii is that its a gimmick, and its gimmick isn't implemented well

The fact that it isn't like other game consoles is the reason I LIKE the wii.

Kind of the same as my reasoning, but add in being mostly a PC gamer...
