Quick Answer
Choose the SimXPro GT-RS wheels if you need to move your cockpit easily; choose the universal wheel deck if you need a rigid, adjustable platform to mount your wheelbase.
What Each Option Does
The SimXPro GT-RS wheels and the universal wheel deck serve completely different purposes, so the right choice depends on what you're trying to solve. The GT-RS wheels are a mobility solution: they let you roll your cockpit around without lifting or dismantling it. The universal wheel deck is a mounting platform: it creates a rigid and adjustable surface for your wheelbase, attaching to vertical 40×80 mm cross-profile.
If you already have a stable wheel mount and your problem is moving the rig, the GT-RS wheels are the obvious pick. If your wheelbase wobbles or you can't find the right steering angle, the universal wheel deck addresses that directly. Trying to use one for the other's job won't work well.
Trade-Off: Mobility vs. Rigidity
The main trade-off is between mobility and rigidity. The GT-RS wheels make your cockpit easy to move, but they don't contribute to mounting your wheelbase. The universal wheel deck provides a solid, adjustable mount, but it doesn't help you move the rig.
If you need both, you might consider combining them: use the GT-RS wheels for mobility and the universal wheel deck for the wheelbase. Just be aware that the GT-RS mounting kit includes only the wheels and their direct mounting hardware, not the brackets to attach them to your cockpit. If your setup requires dedicated wheel brackets, you'll need to source those separately.
Decision Trade-offs
- If you need to move your cockpit frequently: Choose the SimXPro GT-RS wheels. They allow you to roll the rig without lifting or dismantling, and the brakes keep it secure during driving. Verify you have the correct mounting brackets, as they are not included.
- If you need a rigid, adjustable wheelbase mount: Choose the SimXPro Universal Wheel Deck. It provides a stable platform with a wide tilt range, compatible with SimXPro cockpits and DIY aluminium-profile rigs. Ensure your rig uses vertical 40×80 mm cross-profile for installation.
- If you need both mobility and a solid wheel mount: Consider combining both products: use the GT-RS wheels for moving the cockpit and the universal wheel deck for the wheelbase. This gives you flexibility without compromising stability. Plan for extra cost and ensure your rig can accommodate both additions.
