A wheel stand puts your body in a perfect racing position, costs less than a cockpit, and can be folded away for storage. While there are lots of options for racing wheel stands, one of the most recent wheel stands has really impressed me; The GT Omega Steering Wheel Stand.

This stand was released in the summer of 2016 and is compatible with all of the top steering wheel brands like Thrustmaster, Logitech, and Fanatec.

Quality Materials

This wheel stand is built from steel box tubing and has beautiful powder coated Gloss Black Paint. It weighs about 26 lbs (12 kg) and is extremely stable both when a wheel is mounted and when it is removed. The stand comes with 4 Non slip Rubber Pad Protectors that are removable. These are best for use on on floarboards and tiles.

The unit is extremely solid (with and without the rubber slip pads) and feels like you can put a beating on it and it will survive. You can feel confident strapping on your expensive racing wheel to this stand.

Great Design and Assembles Easily

I was able to put this together in about 30 minutes (including unboxing) without looking at the instructions. All you need to do undo the two knobs and lift the twin spar section to the angle you want (two angle options) then insert and re-tighten the knobs. Last, just loosen two knobs on the top of the twin spars and set the wheelbase to the height you want, then re-tighten the knobs.

If you are taking it out from storage and already have it assembled it takes less than 3 minutes to unfold it sand start racing.

Folds Up Easy and Quickly for Storage

The GT Omega Wheel Stand is a great choice if you are limited on space. The unit folds up quickly with the turn of a few knobs and reduces to a shockingly compact size. You can even leave your pedals and wheel base hooked up when you fold it up. Then just carry it to your closet or storage room where it won’t be in the way. These are the dimensions when folded: Dimension (Folded) : 78 x 45 x 19 cm compared to when unfolded Dimensions : 61 x 45 x 78 cm.

Good Bye Table Clamps, Pre-Drilled Holes for Hard Mounting

Not trying to hate on table clamps, but they are not the most stable racing wheel mounting solution. Hard mounting your wheel is significantly better than table clamping to a desk because a clamp constantly needs to be re-tightened. With the GT Omega Wheel Stand, you get pre-drilled holes for hard mounting both your wheel and pedals. These holes are designed to that match all of the popular steering wheel brands. With the GT Omega Stand your wheel will be as stable as mounting to a full sim racing rig.

The pre-drilled wheel plate holes will match the following products:

• Thrustmaster TX, T300RS, T500
• Logitech G25, G27, G29, G920
• All Fanatec Wheels

The pre-drilled pedal plate holes will match the following products:

• Thrustmaster T300RS, TX, T500RS, T3PA-PRO (F1/GT)
• Logitech G25, G27, G29, G920
• Fanatec Clubsport and CSR pedals

Adjustable and Puts You In the Perfect Racing Position

The GT Omega stand offer two great adjustments. The wheel plate is adjustable at 2 different angles and you can even adjust the height of your wheelfrom 58cm up to 77cm. The pedal plate angle is a solid compromise and while not adjustable feels comfortable even when driving from very low or high seats.

One of the keys to racing game immersion is feeling like you are in a car. The design of this wheel stand puts your body in the perfect driving position no matter if you are sitting in an office chair or on a couch.

No Center Column Makes It Great for Using a Heel Toe Technique

Without a center column like you get on products like the Wheel Stand Pro, your legs fit freely underneath your wheel just like they would in a real car. This make this stand ideal for using a heel toe technique because you have such great access to the pedals. It’s other advantage over the Wheel Stand Pro is that you can set it up comfortably in front of a desk if you race with a computer monitor.

Comes With Everything You Need…Even 2 Free Shifter Mounts

Alot of wheel stands don;t come with mounting bolts, but this one does. It ships with 6 x M6 bolts to hardmount your wheel and pedals. This is helpful considering some wheels don’t come with mounting bolts.

In addition you get 2 Gear shifter mounts. This will allow you to mount your shifter on the left or the right side of your steering wheelstand and you can choose which mounting style you prefer. For most other stands you need to purchase a shifter mount separate, I love that they included this with the package!

GTOmega Racing WheelStand Review – Verdict

If you are tight on space or don;t wanna spend top dollar for a racing cockpit, the GT Omega steering Wheel is a great choice. You won’t have to worry about tightenting a table clamp, it keeps you wheel and pedals in place and secure, it folds up easily, it’s comfortable, and has multiple adjustments. This wheel stand by GT Omega really surprised me with how well it was built.

While you can purchase this wheel stand at Amazon, you can get it for about $10-$15 cheaper directly from GT Omega, which also has free shipping. The Buy Now Button above takes you directly to the wheel stand on the GT Omega website.

The post GT Omega Steering Wheel Stand Review – $150 first appeared on Xbox One Racing Wheel Pro.

The Ultimate Steering Wheel Stand has been around for a while and originally this was the stand of choice by most people with a Logitech G27/G25 racing wheel. I recently had a chance to take one for a test drive with a Thrustmaster TX F458 hooked up to it.

All in all this stand will be an upgrade of you have had your racing wheel clamped down on a table. This stand will provide you stability under strong force feedback, a way to stop your pedals from sliding forward, and it will put your body into a racing position just like driving a car.

The Ultimate Steering Wheel Racing Game Stand, is very similar to the Wheel Stand Pro and is made to work with any chair, couch, or gaming seat. There are a few main differences between these two racing wheel stands which I will address later in this review.

A Well Built Racing Wheel Stand for the Price

The Ultimate Wheel Stand is made of wood and powder coated metal. It weighs just under 14 lbs, is about 27 inches high. The platform, for the pedals is 17.5 X 12.5, but all in all with the supports it’s 25 inches in length. Basically the Piping and supports are metal and the Wheel support and pedal support platforms are wood.

Under strong force feedback with a racing wheel attached the stand feels pretty sturdy.

Folds Up To Fit in Tight Places

The compactness and foldability are the BEST aspects of this wheel stand. This thing can under your couch if you have a 6 inch clearance. Of course to do that you need to unhook your wheel and pedals, but nonetheless that is a big time space saver.

Mounting the Wheel and Pedals No Tools Required

What makes this stand extremely different than other driving wheel stand models is that it doesn’t have any pre-drilled holes for mounting your wheel. That’s cause you do not need them. This stand is sort of like an elevated table, you just clamp your wheel on it with the table clamp for your wheel.

Even the pedal don’t need to be mounted. You just lay them on the pedal platform and that is it. There is a metal backstop on the pedal platform that keeps your pedals from sliding forward while you are jamming on the pedals.

This makes this racing wheel stand ideal for products like the Thrustmaster TMX,because it is table clamp only and requires a special adapter for to attach to other stands.

It Puts Your Body in a Perfect Driving Position

Racing Simulator Cockpits and wheel stand are much better than clamping your wheel to a table simply because they put your body in a perfect driving position. Being in a driving position is what makes a racing game immersive.

The Ultimate Racing Game Steering Wheel Stand, definitely accomplishes this. You may be looking at it thinking the center pole is going to be in the way of your legs, but it’s not. The pole sits just past the inside of your knees and you won’t even notice it while you are racing.

It even offers a good amount of adjustability for you to tilt the wheel forward. The stand can also be made to accommodate a small child.

Compatible with Multiple Steering Wheels

The Ultimate Wheel Stand will fit the following wheels:

Logitech G25, G27, G29, G920
Thrustmaster TX, TMX, T300RS, T500RS, Spider
Mad Catz Racing Wheel

I don’t think this stand will work with The Hori Racing Wheel, because that wheel mounts with suction cups and I don’t believe they will grip onto the wheel platform.

Pretty much any wheel that has a table clamp can work with this wheel stand. There is also a shifter plate that you can switch around onto either side of your racing wheel. The only constraint you would have is the wires for your shifter being long enough to reach your inputs, depending on your setup.

VS.

There are a few key differences between this two driving wheel stands. The Ultimate Stand is certainly less expensive and folds up to a smaller size, but it is not as sturdy, doesn’t strap your pedals down, and only supports wheels that have table clamps.

Also when you pack up the Ultimate Wheel Stand, you need to remove your racing wheel and pedals from it. That means that every time you take your wheel out, you need to hook everything back up. Hooking your wheel back up is quick and easy, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

So in those aspects I think the Wheel Stand Pro is a better product.

A Few Limitations with the Ultimate Stand

If you are using this for playing games on a PC, the wheel base will align directly with the top of your desk, you won’t be able to get your wheel close to your monitor.

The titling mechanism for moving your steering wheel towards you is locked by turning a knob. If you are using a racing wheel with a heavy wheel base, then the knob will not hold the weight of the wheel when titled at angles passed a few degrees.

You will really have to over tighten the turning knob to support a heavier wheel and that may lead to stripping out the threading. You can imagine in the picture on the right of how a heavy wheel might affect this wheel stand.

It also does not contain a mechanism to lock your pedals into place, although the backstop does a good job of keeping them from sliding.

The Ultimate Racing Game Steering Wheel Stand Review Wrap Up

For the price they are asking for it, The Ultimate Wheel Stand is a great product. Sure there are a few limitations, but…

Having this racing wheel stand will IMMEDIATELY increase your racing immersion experience especially if you have been clamping your wheel on to a table. Given the price of this it’s pretty easy to rate it 4 stars.

Limited by space and can’t fit a full racing cockpit in your room?

The Xlerator Wheel stand will take your racing game setup to the next level and keep your space usage and your budget to a minimum. There are two different versions of this stand, the XL20 Xlerator and the XL21 Big Boy. I’ll get to the differences in a min…

There are plenty of other wheel stands on the market, like the Wheel Stand Pro, which has a pole that sits between your knees, but the Xlerator will let your legs fall naturally underneath the wheel just like they would in your car.

This company has been making wheel stands for a while and were particularly popular stands in the past for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Now they are built for wheels on the next gen consoles!

The stands are designed to work with your living room furniture, like a lazy boy chair, a couch, or even a gaming chair.

There are two versions; the stand called the XL20 is made for an average size man up to 6’4 220 lbs, while the XL21 Big Boy is made for a larger size man up to 6’4 290 lbs. These two stands are pretty identical in every other way except one has a higher cut lap bar.

Made of High Quality Steel Tubing and Builds Easy

The Xlerator stands are made from 2mm steel tubing and it has a powder coated gloss black finish. There is also a piece of sheet metal in place for mounting a pedal set. When you sit at the stand with a wheel mounted and turn aggressively back and forth on the wheel, the stand remains sturdy.

Not only are they well-constructed, but you can put it together in about 15 minutes. It does come with instructions, but it’s pretty intuitive when you see the parts.

Pack Up Easily

If you are limited on space and need to put the racing setup away when you are done, then this offers a great solution that can fit in a closet or a corner.

All you need to do is flip up the pedals and lift up the wheel. That’s it, these stands thing couldn’t be easier to pack up. You don’t even need to unhook your wheel or pedals, just leave them on the stand.

Puts Your Body in a Perfect Driving Position

One of the key reason cockpits and wheels stands are SOOO MUCH better than clamping your racing wheel to a table is because they put your body in the perfect driving position. Being in a position that you would expect to be in as if you were driving is what really makes for an immersive racing experience. The XL20 and XL21 do this exactly.

Plus they are designed without a center column so your legs fit naturally right under the wheel without any obstruction between your feet and the pedals. The stand also has a pedal plate for mounting your pedal set, which is important for keeping your pedals in place when you are jamming on the accelerator and brakes.

What’s also a nice touch is that the stands are fully adjustable for leg length and lap bar height.

Compatible with Multiple Steering Wheels

The Xlerator Wheel Stands will fit the following wheels:

– Logitech G25, G27, G29, G920
– Thrustmaster TX, T300RS, T500RS
– Fantatec Wheels

The pedal plate is pre-drilled for the stock Thrustmaster pedals. If you have the Thrustmaster T3PA Pro Pedal Set, you will only be able to use the F1 style, inverting them GT will not fit. The stand also comes with shifter adapters for both the Fanatec and Logitech Shifters.

Neither stand is compatible with the Mad Catz racing wheel or the Thrustmaster Spider. If you were looking for a stand for those, then the Wheel Stand Pro is your next best option.

A Few Limitations

While this stand is built great and is perfect for anybody, there are a few limitations.

– Using the XL21 Big Boy lap bar it won’t fit on certain chairs with arms.
– If you have T3PA pro pedals you can only use them in the F1 position on either stand
– Neither stand is compatible with the Mad Catz Racing Wheel
– Neither stand is compatible with the Thrustmaster Spider
– If you are using it while seated on a couch then the wheel may bounce a bit
– To keep the stands sturdy, you really need to tighten the Allen Screws tight

Xlerator Wheel Stand Review Wrap Up

These are solid wheel stand if you are looking for something sturdy, space saving, budget conscious, and built to last. Either version of this stand will INSTANTLY take your racing experience to the next level especially if you have been clamping your racing wheel to a table.

A word of advice before you purchase an Xlerator, just make sure, you consider your couch or chair before you purchase this wheel stand. It will fit most, but if you are planning on sitting at some weird chair this may not a great solution. All in all I think this is a quality product, well priced compared to the market, and an instant upgrade to racing immersion.

The post Xlerator Wheel Stand Review – Made For Mounting Next Gen Racing Wheels | $150 first appeared on Xbox One Racing Wheel Pro.

Check Out The Wheel Stand Pro In Action

It Is Made Of Quality Materials

The Wheel Stand Pro is build of metal and is put together extremely well. It weighs about 17 lbs and feels very stable, both when a wheel is mounted to it and when the wheel is removed. It is definitely built to last and withstand a beating. It will support the weight of your wheel and lock your pedals into place very securely.

Perfect Wheel Stand For Racing And Easy To Put Away

The WheelStand Pro is for anyone who is a casual racer or needs to be able to quickly put their racing setup in the closet or another room. It is as functional as a racing cockpit, putting your arms into a driving position, but it’s easier to move around, fold up, and it doesn’t have the same price tag as a full rig. You can simply leave your wheel and pedals attached to it, fold it up and put it in a closet when you are done.

Unlike Table Clamps, You Don’t Need to Retighten

Table clamps certainly have their place if you can’t afford a wheel stand, but the problem with table clamps is that they constantly need to be re-tightened. With all of the pressure and pulling you don on your wheel from force feedback table and desk clamps don’t keep your steering wheel stable…with this stand that problem is solved.

This stand has a steering wheel plate with pre-drilled holes that you can mount your wheel too. This adds maximum stability and will make your wheel as stable as it would be if it was attached to a sim racing rig.

One Limitation For PC Racers

If you are looking to setup the WheelStand Pro at a desk for PC gaming, you may find it a bit less comfortable than someone who uses a TV. The reason being is that the back of the racing wheel comes to the same height as the top of your desk, which will prevent you from sitting close to your computer monitor. For me that’s not a deal breaker, but it may not work for someone who wants to race sitting at a desk.

It Puts Your Body In A Perfect Driving Position

The driving experience is awesome. The stand pulls out and unfolds fast. The wheel and pedals feel very stable. Your arms and legs will form are in a perfect driving position for almost all standard seats like couches, office chairs, or kitchen table chairs.

The height of the wheel and distance of the pedals can also be adjusted, so this stand can accommodate people of all body types and sizes.

Games simply feel better with this wheel stand especially if you have been strapping your steering wheel to a table in the past. The Stand also locks your pedals into place, so no more dealing with your pedals sliding around as you jam on the accelerator or smash down on the brake.

Is The Center Column In Your Way?

No! The center column bar at first glance looks like it will impede your legs and feet preventing you from getting to the pedals comfortably, but it doesn’t at all. When you sit at the stand, the center column bar comes up perfectly past your knees and your feet feel natural on the pedals. Once you start racing you won’t even notice the center column bar at all.

There Is A Version For Every Steering Wheel Brand

WSP went to lengths to ensure every racing wheel is compatible with their product. To and do so, they made multiple versions of the wheel stand with various mounting plates. So no matter what steering wheel you own or what type of console or PC you are racing on, they have a viable stand for you. All you need to do is order the Wheel Stand that has the mounting plate for the wheel you own.

Here is a Link to the right wheel stand for the 4 most popular steering wheels

Logitech G920
Thrustmaster TX
Mad Catz Racing Wheel
Thrustmaster VG Spider

Whats even better is that when you order the stand for your wheel you get the stand, the bolts and tools you need to attach your pedals, the bolts you need to attach your wheel, and tie-wraps to keep your wiring in line.

The Wheel Stand Pro as A XRP Best Seller

The Wheel Stand Pro is one of our most popular selling items on Xbox Racing Pro. It particularly soared in popularity around the time Thrustmaster released the VG Spider racing wheel. A lot of people grabbed those two products together and for under $250 bucks, you got yourself an awesome racing wheel, pedals, and a stand. This wheel stand though is perfect for any wheel.

This is a product you can buy and feel good about it after your purchase. It is high quality and provides such a better racing experience than clamping your wheel onto a table or desk. It is highly reviewed with over 4.5 stars on Amazon and the manufacturer offers a 30 day money back guarantee if you don’t love the wheel stand.

Wheel Stand Pro Review – Wrapping It up

If you can’t afford a racing rig, don’t have a table to clamp your wheel to, or hate the feeling of clamping your wheel to a table, the Wheel Stand Pro is a perfect solution. I love the fact that it is not only made sturdy, but can also be hidden away when you don’t want it out. This product is definitely worth taking a look at if you want to take your racing game experience to the next level.
