As far as I know, the XInput library don't support rotary encoder. It was written to emulate an Xbox 360 controller (witch don't have a rotary encoder). It is able to capture switches and potentiometers or linear hall-sensors.
What exact device on your steering wheel project is using a rotary encoder? Are you able to replace the encoder with a potentiometer or linear hall sensor?
Please show some pictures.
