I want a sturdy wheel stand

[jp_footy]

Does anyone know if I could use my Thrustmaster T150 with this one?

I just checked the instructions that came with mine it shows mounting holes for Thrustmaster wheels

T150 does not have mounting holes, but it can be hard-mounted with Ricmotech hard-mount adapter for T150 and TMX wheels(search in Google)

If not, whats the problem drilling 2 holes? <<<- forget this.

Get a next level racing stand. They are the best and you can parts to it.

You could use the stand if you drilled a hole large enough for the mounting screw to squeeze through. You could use a block of wood and a washer as a spacer underneath the metal wheel-mounting plate to make up for the gap without the plastic mounting piece you normally screw in when mounting the wheel to a desk or table. Then make a small plate to put underneath the back of the wheel to level the uneven bottom. Hell, you could even drill holes in the leveling plate that correspond with the wheel stands bolt pattern and use more bolts to secure it. If you know someone with a dremel or router bit, get a curved bevel bit that matches the curve on the bottom of the wheel and plane the leveling plate to match. I'll draw a picture and update this post but it would work and there's the self satisfaction of making something work that wouldn't normally fit without a few mods.

My T150 is bolted with the factory mount setup, bungy strapped and tied down to a heavy folding food tray/table that is then wedged under the third drawer of the furniture to keep it stable. The T3PA Pro pedals barely fit between the legs of the stand and it took some getting used to but it gets the job done well. Gran Turismo Sport, DiRt Rally and DiRt Rally 2.0 as well as WRC 7 all with no problems. I just keep the force feedback at 60-70% for the rally games to ensure the life of the belt pulley and plastic gears inside. Good luck with your setup!

Be careful with this modification because as far as I understand you will cover those holes that are of the bottom of the base and are for cooling the electric motor and the power supply.

Nice catch, I thought it only had vents on the sides. In this case, maybe make a second plate where it connects the wheel and stand. It might flex a bit though under heavy force feedback.
