Worth $229+tax? Maybe $150. But no way I would buy $2k steering or pedals either. Paid $138 for my full cockpit frame. Should the seat cost more than the frame? Nope. I am just shy of $1k for my setup minus the PC & Monitor. Add another $3.5k for that and I am all in at $4.5k. Some of the hard-core "enthusiasts" are all in at over $10k for their race setup. I suppose if you are pulling down over 6 figures, then who cares what it costs. My point: this stuff/gear should be affordable to us conservative/cheap consumers because it adds up quick! 5 stars -1 for price over $200.

I absolutely love this chair so far. It was super easy to install on my custom aluminum profile sim rig. The sliding base and adjustable back are responsive and smooth. The seat could be maybe an inch or half an inch wider but regardless it's comfortable. I do wish cutout section was either not there or something other than Velcro was used.

All in all amazing chair!

Was surprised at how heavy the seat is. Solid and comfortable. Fabric is top notch. Just had to attach the back to the base. The kit came with three box wrenches and an Allen wrench. There are more seat positions than I thought there would be for reclining the seat back. Nice product.

I was expecting seat to be disappointing but it is actually ok... the fabric feels nice. Assembling is not easy but it is doable, and fabric had a small hole in the assembling bolt due to friction - nothing big would make me return but I hope it doesn't gets larger with time.

Downside is the rails.... they are useless as it only locks in one side - so no matter how you assemble it, it will always be flimsy and shaking around on your right side. If you want a stable seat you will need to buy accessory rail. Would be better for the seat comming with discount and no rail at all. At 199 it feels a bit overpriced to me but unfortunately I can't see any options in the market at this price point.

Once I removed the rail, the seat worked as expected.

Before I actually get into the review I need to speak to the customer service of HomeRacer. My personal rep, Dimitar at HomeRacer has been fantastic from start to finish. I contacted him with what I wanted to do with their OpenWheeler rig, what I was looking for and he guided me to exactly what I needed. HomeRacer's OpenWheeler rig is rock solid and very well built but their customer service is even better. If you not sure what you need reach out to them and they will help you out.
Without further delay let me get into the product. I already had a racing rig that I had purchased a few weeks previously and it fit the need for racing but I also needed a flight rig and OpenWheeler was the answer.
First let me say the construction is of the quality that you would get if you spent about 5 times as much. Welds are perfect, everything is rigid and they send you not only ALL the tools you need to put it together they send hardware for every set up. The included instructions are very accurate, easy to understand and have tons of pictures to help guide you through the setup process. The items were packaged like it was going to battle and everything in the box was labeled making assembly that much easier. Shipping was lightning fast from order (after shipping hours) package went out next day and was on my doorstep the following day.
In order to get exactly what I wanted I had to custom build (order) the parts I needed so this review will be under each item I ordered. If you reading this review I have ordered that part and highly recommend it.
I can not stress this enough, if you need a racing, flight rig or a combination of both call or message them. You can thank me later!!!!
