Wheel Stand Pro: G Racing Wheel Stand Compatible With Logitech G29 G923 G920 G27 & G25 Wheels, Deluxe, Original V2. Wheel and Pedals Not included.

I have been wanting a proper wheel stand for many many years but always had a hard time justifying the price to myself. I finally broke down and bought this for my new Logitech G920. This is one SOLID piece of kit. I really wish I had purchased one several years ago when I was using my G27 on my PC. There really isn't anything out there that I can see that would be better than this if you don't want an entire racing seat/stand setup.The kit came will all of the tools needed to set this up and adjust it just how you want. It includes a non-adjustable wrench, two allen wrenches, all the nuts and bolts that you need, and the optional plate to mount the shifter if you have one. The instructions are printed on nice laminated paper. There's also a youtube video that you should watch on setting it up and adjusting it. I didn't watch it at first and I missed a few things. All in all, it took me about a half hour to set up the stand with the wheel and adjust it to my liking.Wheel Stand Pro has really thought of everything in designing this stand. It's rock solid when driving. The weight of the stand combined with the wheel is probably somewhere around 20 lbs. I don't use it with the shifter (yet), so that will probably add a couple more lbs. Even at only 20 lbs, this thing doesn't rock when you thrash your wheel from side to side. It stays planted on my carpet even when pressing down really hard on the brake pedal. The chair I sit in will move backwards before this stand will slide. It's that solid.The Logitech wheel permanently attaches to the main plate with two bolts that screw directly to the wheel base. Then you just tighten the normal wheel grips and it won't move a bit. The wheel position is completely adjustable by changing the height, pole angle, and wheel level. I had no troubles at all getting a comfortable position when using that insanely comfortable Ikea chair (you know the one).The pedals rest on two tubes that have 4 adjustable rubber feet that can be moved to sit directly under the 4 corners of the pedal base so the plastic doesn't come in direct contact with the metal tubes. This makes noise and vibration non-existent. The pedal base can also be moved forwards and backwards along the tubes and then permanently locked in place.Some people have mentioned that their leg hits the center pole when using a single foot for the accelerator and brake pedals. My leg does touch the pole, but it's not so bad that I can't hit the brake pedal. In fact, I barley even notice it. It's really not an issue at all for me. On the other hand, I've recently started racing with both feet because I find it quicker than using just one. Racing this way, my legs don't touch the center pole at all.On the bottom of the base, there is a straight metal bar that screws directly into the pedal base which also keeps it permanently in place on the wheel stand. This same bar also holds the power brick for the wheel in place too, so that it's not even visible when in use. It seems as though it wasn't necessarily designed with that in mind though. It's almost as if someone just happened to notice that the brick was just the right size to put in some empty space and it will stay there. Still, it's a nice touch. Just make sure you don't tighten it TOO much so that the plastic in the power brick doesn't crack.The lot also includes a couple of wire ties to keep the wires close to the poles. I ended up using a few more just to keep things a bit more tidy.When not in use, you can lower the stand (without the need for tools) so that it can be easily stored without taking the whole thing apart. It's not exactly flat so you can't put it under a bed, but its compact enough to easily move out of the way or even into a closet if you have the space.I'm really happy I finally have one of these to race with. I just wish I had bought one a long time ago.

Good starting steup for sim racers/flyers on a budget.

Wheel/controller/wheel/controller - which one should I use for gaming? Well I have been playing driving sims for years and always used a controller but could never get the lap times down to the next degree - I would stick around the top 10% of the online stats for Forza but never get that little extra!So with all the new consoles coming out I thought it would be a good time to give a dedicated wheel and stand a try and see what I can do. After doing a fair amount of research, it looks like the new PS4 is backwards compatible with the PS3 as far as wheels go so I pulled the trigger on the G27 wheel for PS3/PS4 and the Wheel Stand Pro here along with Gran Turismo 6.Well after a bit of a learning curve all I can say is wow - what a difference! the whole wheel/stand setup really immerse's you into the driving, it's a whole new level of sim driving! It's a blast to use really.As for the quality - it's great, nice materials and great finish.The adjust-ability is practically infinite and you do not need a dedicated race seat or even a office chair or the like to use it - I use it with my home theater recliners and it's great and comfortable - very natural driving positions. I also have it on carpet and zero issues with stability - it stays pretty rock solid through the most grueling 180's or hard braking - no problem!Assembly is straight forward, but the instruction are a bit vague for the foot pedal platform, but just youtube it and it will walk you through the assembly - about 20 minutes start to finish line. It comes with a fairly long usb cord to connect to your PS3, but I ended up getting an 6' usb extension to get it where I needed it - and no issues with the longer distance (I think 10' is about as far as you can go with the extension). You can set the pedal position up so the wheel post folds down between the accel and brake pedals, but I prefer a more centered position so it folds down right on the brake pedal - no big deal.Here's a tip when setting up the first time - Don't secure the cables to the frame until you have it setup to where you will be using it, get it fully adjusted, pedals, wheel, angles and elevations - THEN get your zip or velcro ties (they don't send enough imo)and secure the wires to the down tube and floor rails -you'll have a much cleaner install and less tangle hassle when moving it around.All in all great and fun too!

Note: I’ve an Logitech G29 wheel set. This review is based off that.Item is very sturdy and compact, and well made. The wheelbase and the shifter installation is very good and secure.Taking a single star off only because the installation of the pedal base is only secured by a single screw. This might become a concern if there is lot of foot/pedal movement that is ‘heavy’ per-se. To mitigate this, after installing the base pedals with the single screw I’ve used tie racks to secure it further. And that seems to work well.Overall if space is a concern then this is a fantastic starter rig. I’ve it in front my couch and it’s comfortable. The bar in the middle is not an issue. I’m 6’0 tall and the bar sits between my thighs. I’m freely able to use the pedals no issues.The options to configure just the right height are very good. Can move it up/down, tilt it towards you and away.All in all I’m happy with this stand. If you take care of your things then this will last a long time. Good product.
