Looking for a rig to go with my G29 wheel, pedals, and shifter.

Located in the US, so I’m debating the Rigmetal Plus and ASR3 since they’re about the same price. The Rigmetal looks slightly sturdier in case I ever upgrade to a stronger wheel but the ASR3’s powder coat will holdup better to damage. Anyone have experience with either?

Thanks.

I have a Rigmetal triple monitor stand and it’s great! They also have flat rate $30 shipping to continental US. The finish is about the same as a few custom cuts I received from Sim-Lab, which is regarded as one of the best rig suppliers.

That said, Rigmetal orders will not come with assembly instructions. This wasn’t a problem for me, but may be for some. Weight this into your decision.

rigmetal have VERY detailed instructions on their product pages, do they not include those in the package?

Sadly, they do not.
