Chair help please. Noise???

[Az_GTi]

Alright chaps. Bit random this but bear with me.

I'm after a new gaming chair. Currently I'm on one that I made myself, a racing car seat custom mounted onto the base of an old office chair. I do a lot of racing car games/sims so it's actually worked quite well and I've had that setup now for the last 2-3yrs. But the main downside is every time I move around or lean back it makes a creaking type / crunch noise from the base of the seat where it mounts. I think it's just a crappy base, but then my office chair as work also creaks when I lean back. That kind of thing irritates me

I'm looking probably either the Vertagear SL2000 or a Noblechair EPIC but wondered if these purpose made "gaming chairs" would make similar kind of noises/creaks? Of course I hope they would be quiet.

Also is it possible not remove the arms (or not fit them at all) as I much prefer no arms so it will go under my desk?

And the wheels, is it possible to lock them in position?

Thanks for any guidance. It's a lot of dosh to blow on a seat so want to get it right. Sadly the shop is miles away or I'd like to try first myself obviously

Thank you for checking mate, much appreciated.

Going to think it over. The creaking noise is my biggest annoyance with what I have made myself. Got a feeling all the bases make some sort of noise because of all the adjustments. It's just when I lean over or get up it's quite loud lol.

I can easy change the casters over so no probs there. Suppose I could order one and see how it goes, just a hassle if I don't get on with it and want to return etc.
