Racing Steering Wheelstand for Logitech G27 / G25 Wheels, V2 -Deluxe, Original Wheel Stand Pro Stand

A Perfeeeect Father's Day Gift!

Wow! This stand is the kind of thing I would have built in engineering school if we had the G27 in the early 90's. It's incredible. I'll go over all the great things first and then the very few minor irritations that don't detract from the product at all.  Pros: Build quality - It's 18lbs of tubular steel and while that doesn't sound like much, I doubt anyone could make this shift on the floor while using it. Since the frame connects the steering and the pedals, you actually make it more solid with your feet on the pedal floor and your hands on the steering wheel. It is like a rock even playing more spirited games like the Need for Speed series. Mounts - I was worried about limiting each component to two mounting screws, but that has proven to be plenty. The components don't shift on the plates even with heavy use.  Foldability - I've attached pictures, but you can fold the unit down easily because of the quick clamps. If you don't want to press your brake pedal down, you can clamp it shut just before it hits. If you don't mind holding the pedal down, you can use a piece of foam to protect the pedal. Ease of use - the quick clamps were a great touch. It really makes getting the whole thing "closet ready" a snap. I can set it up in less than a minute and take it down in the same time.  Cons: The power brick solution - The "solution" to hold the power brick isn't great since it's just a friction hold on the underside of the pedal unit. Can't really fault WSP for that, though. Height - I'm not tall but my desk is, so while this is the perfect height if you're sitting on the couch, it's a little low for high desks like mine (32"). An extra four inches on the center tube would have been great, but it's still perfectly usable.  One missing quick clamp - the top plate that holds the steering wheel and shifter needs two wrenches to set the angle. While this isn't something you would adjust as much as the height or folding axis, it's still a pain. A quick clamp for that plate would have been nice. However, since the tube is so thick and the contact area between the plate mount and tube is so small, this probably wasn't a viable option.  Overall, I would almost consider this a required purchase if you buy a G27 and don't want to build your own stand for it. Sure, it's expensive, but it's worth every single penny. It is put together well enough to survive the next 50 years, and if I ever get another wheel it will be relatively easy to just drill new holes wherever required. This stand is that solid.
