I will be getting a Thrustmaster T500-RS wheel/pedal set in the coming weeks and I was just wondering what would be the best choice as far as driving rig/cockpit to mount it on. I am speaking of a store bought item, as I am not interested in a DIY project at this time. Thanks for any advice.
 
Personally, I would go for Obutto's Ozone if I had the space for it. If we're talking less space than that, something like the GT Omega-stand could be good as well. 👍

Just to make sure, I have no experience with either of the above mentioned products. :)
 
Thanks guys for all your input. Looks like the Obutto may be the way to go but still undecided at this point. I'm kinda anal about making decisions like this so I am still mulling over which one to get. Thanks again for the advice, appreciate you guys taking the time to give me your input on this.
 
I have my T500 on an oZone and it works just fine but if I was spending the money today I'd get a R3volution for sure.

I used a Fanatec wheelstand with it for a while and it held it, but a wheelstand is better suited to a lighter wheel IMO, you really couldn't go all out.

If you get the Ozone you have to drill holes to hardmount the wheel becuse the V-bar will get in the way of the clamp
 
If I was limited by storage space, and could only use a wheel-stand instead of a cockpit, what would be the ideal one to get for the T500? This is assuming an H-shifter won't be used.

Why don't you make your own thread instead of hijacking mine.
 
I thought the subject matter was close enough I could ask, but if it bothers you that much, I will create a new thread.

Just checked it out. Looks like a pretty good rig. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can't say enough good things about the Steadiplay wheel stand. Don't know why it's not mentioned more often; it's real solid, yet it folds up nice & small.
