My Custom Wheel Table

[apkarian100]

So I bought some wheels from someone recently, and after sandblasting, I noticed one wheel had a crack in the spoke. I wasn't going to put it on my car but I didn't want to throw it away. My solution, custom wheel table.

Here's what the wheel started out like:

Then sand blasted:

Then all nice and painted:

I then acquired a matching wheel hub and mounted it to a metal work stool. It spins too!:

I then took the wheels off the stool and painted the whole thing:

I then bought a nice piece of glass to go on top of the wheel:

The only problem is, the glass doesn't sit flush on the wheel rim, so I added a spacer to the lip:

Now I just need to put the wheel on the base and secure the glass to the wheel.

Stay tuned for the final product!

looks good, are you adding matching bar stools?

Hmmm...this is an idea. The table though will be the height of a coffee table. Good for next to a couch.

I have wheel that is perfect other than a crack that causes it to not hold air. Free and you can make your own wheel table!
