[HELP] Wheel Stands??

[extracurricularturd 4]

I am thinking of getting a Thrustmaster T500 integral wheel with the Ferrari F1 add-on and was wondering what to do for a wheel stand. Which would you recommend? I want a sturdy stand but was also wondering if the T500 and the T500RS have different bases because I see most of them advertised for the RS rather then the PS3/4 version.

Anyways, I would appreciate some help on the matter so if you could chime in with some advice, thanks in advance :blush:

Omega stand. VERY sturdy and very adjustable. You can bolt the wheel base and the pedals down. I've owned one for about two months and it is perfect.

I use my T500 F1 wheel with an Apiga AP2 wheel stand. I can only recommend it.

Here you can see some pictures:

My openwheeeler race seat just arrived. Once it's together I'll report back. It's going together with a new ts300 servo, f1 wheel, and t3pa pro pedals. Can't wait,! Should be sick!

I use a wheel stand pro for my T300 with f1 wheel add on. Very sturdy and does the job nicely.

Probably super pricey though :/ Thanks for the suggestion though but I think I might settle for the GT Omega stand !

EDIT: Wait it's actually reasonable :) Hmm might think about it then, could you expand upon what you said though? It looks nice but quite frankly it seems like a glorified camping chair :/

So settled on the GT Omega stand I think, looks reasonable for the price it is but now I need a chair that's not 100 smackaroonies! I have an office chair already but it has wheels. What do you guys use?

I use a dining chair. You can adjust the wheel stand angle so its not bad.

Is the GT Omega stand good on carpet? Does it slide or no?

It doesnt move because its all bolted together,  You can use any car seat on the omega stand, the omega seat is crap...buy a car seat !

I know what you mean when you say "glorified camping chair" but i was pleasently suprised by the quality and especially the comfert level. I now use it for hours at a time. Last lan weeken with friends i even fell asleep in it:p

Picture of my setup, you can see the chair is made from pretty nice fabric

Bought the openwheeler seat off amazon last week. Very comfortable, and very sturdy. I'm 6'3" 185lbs.
