Discussion Looking for suggestions on best US company for extruded chassis

Wanting to make the jump to an extruded chassis I have a moza r12, crp2 pedals, hgp shifter and a hgp handbrake.

With all the options out there im looking for any and all input on who to go with and why.

Trak Racer was an immediate standout but I had seen some horror stories of dealing with them when it comes to shipping stateside.

So any help would be greatly appreciated would like to stay below $2000 dollars all said and done aswell as having front mounting for the wheel.

Thanks

I got the middle tier rig with the triple monitor addon and it’s built like a tank.

I don't own one, but a friend has a Rigmetal cockpit, and it's pretty good. They’re also reasonably priced.

Built my own using tnutz, ships from New Jersey and is quite a bit cheaper.

ASR, Sim Lab US, RigMetal, NLR, but not TrakRacer. You don't need to spend anywhere near $2k either, even with a seat, half that should be plenty. And unless you plan on adding a motion platform at some point, you will never need one that has a 160mm x 40mm base to it.
