Gaming Chair for Wheel Stand Pro?

[Marcus96]

Does anybody know of a suitable gaming chair that will best pair with the Wheel Stand Pro?

Primarily, I use a Playseat Evolution and G25, but this is in the family room on the main Playstation 3 console in the house. Now in my bedroom, I currently use a Microsoft XBOX 360 Official Force Feedback Wheel which is paired with a Wheel Stand Pro to use on the XBOX 360. The problem is, the only 2 chairs I currently have is an Office Chair and a Beanbag Chair. The Office Chair has a very truck-ish position and moves arround when I am trying to race and with the Beanbag chair. sidewalls mould into the chair while I am sat in it, making the seat uncomfortable!

I have looked at a variety of gaming chairs, rocker types are no good because they are too low and pro gaming rockers (the pedestal types) looked fine (I don't want the speakers, I already have a 5.1 sound system) until I found out that they tilt and swivel.

The only chair I found ideal up-to-press was the AK Rocker (you can stop it rocking back and forth, which is good) but they are discontinued and you can't find them anymore, NOT AVAILABLE IN UK! I don't know what I am going to use and cope with? Any ideas?

Maybe a padded table chair? Or, if the chair serves no other purpose/doesn't need to move anywhere else, maybe take the wheels off underneath?

You could try the same solution I did, its a real sports car seat, mounted on a old office chair frame. Its already been modded Again, but what I did was: Cutting off the frame legs to the wished height, and removed the back rest - Then I made a small plate to Mount the frame on to the plate, and then placed the plate/frame on to the race seat, and there after I´ve sat it in front of my WSP (Wheel stand Pro), Here's my setup with the chair/seat in front of WSP. If you want detailed pics, I will get you, just PM me

Thank you for the suggestions. Maybe one of those sports/racing seats that have 4 legs, designed for use as sitting chairs?

I made a 2x4 base and mounted a car seat at the desired height to use with my wheelstand. Worked almost as nicely as my real rig, and in some ways even better! Also, real cheap. =)
