I'm not usually a "branded customer" (meaning I try to keep all products I purchase of the same maker/brand). However in this case I must refute your claim on a number of points. First to claim that "SPI wheels are no where near as nice" offers no criteria to that statement. Why are they not so nice? Let me answer that for you, SPI racing wheels are at least a ten fold better than UE Maxx(s). Let me explain my reasoning, something you have failed to do: I have SPI Tri-Stars on my T Maxx, which I raced at diggers dungeon, coming in 2nd place. But here's the real kicker... after the race, the owner personally handed me $250 cash for coming in SECOND! That's something I do not see Ue maxx doing. SPI wheels are of superior make, material, and quality. But one of my favorite aspects is the customer service.... all for $100 cheaper? SPI has successfully gained a loyal patron, UE Maxx has not.

PS... SPI offers a lifetime warranty, UE MAXX better step up their game to compete.
