My best advice is practice. I was the same when I got a wheel.

Make sure its bolted down securely and you are in a comfortable position.

I bought a cheapish wheel stand on eBay for about £65 which made a difference for me. It's not a professional set up of course, but it is lightyears ahead of bolting to a table.

Beyond that, get comfortable and spend time relearning how to drive fast. It's quite different to the controller.

You don't mention exactly which wheel but Logitech have a page for recommended wheel settings for each game

Personally, I find the angle setting can make a big difference and needs to be adjusted to get it just right. Sometimes I even change the angle setting from car to car within a game.

Logitech said:

Angle

This sets the wheel's overall response angle within the limits defined by the setting. Formula 1 cars, for example, will use 360 degrees of overall rotation (180 degrees left or right from center) so if you leave the angle set to 1080 then it will require a lot of turning of the wheel in order to achieve a harder turn. In this case, setting the angle to 360 degrees will ensure you have the correct responsiveness in your steering. Whether you need to adjust this at all will differ with the different titles on different platforms. For example, the Formula 1 titles on a computer (PC) will typically require you to set the angle to 360 degrees, whereas on a console you should leave the wheel set to its maximum angle — the title takes care of it for you.

This 100%, when I first got my Logitech G29 I found it was unplayable and I was regretting buying it. The main reason for this was because the standard travel meant I could not get around many of the corners easily.

Changing the steering angle was a revelation and it just made everything click into place.

This.

I bought a Logitech g29 racing wheel and at first it made me slower, however as I got used to it I got faster than using a KB/Mouse.

Quite normal to be slower with a wheel for a while. I’m continually slow as I do long stints of not using it. But it does make it more enjoyable.

Same here. Whenever I get a new game it always takes half an hour of 'dialling it in' to get the right feel.
