Third-party accessory manufacturers have been putting out steering wheel attachments for the Wii remote long before Nintendo pulled the curtain on its Wii Wheel (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/wii-wheel), but, like the Wii Wheel, they're simple models, plastic molded into circular shapes with an open slot for the controller.
Brando's (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/brando) Wii Multi-Axis Racing System has a more traditional design with an attachable steering column and suction cups at the bottom to keep it in place. It really looks more expensive than the $18 Brando is asking for it, but you'll have to remember that there are no actual electronic or complex parts.
Mounting the wheel to the column should keep the Wii remote angled correctly while you race around Mario Kart's (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/mario-kart) tracks, but, then again, that might also make it tough to pull off waggle stunts. Drift past the post break for more photos of the Wii Multi-Axis Racing System.
