WTD one or two nice looking wheels to make a coffe table out of... Sat, 05 March 2005 14:29 Go to next message
Hi,

I'm thinking of making a coffee table out of a nice alloy wheel... I am looking for one or two wheels that are in good to great condition but are also really cheap. I am thinking it may be possible to find a lonely wheel that therefore is cheap because of its lack of friends to roll with.

Aiming for at least 16"... 17" or bigger is preferable because it adds stability and table top area.

Basically, anyone with an odd wheel lying about post a pic and tell me what you want for it. If you know of a good place that sells cheap odd wheels also post that.

Here is a pic of something similar to what I have in mind. I took this pic at the motorshow... Shannons reckon this one is worth $1000-$2000 Shocked Hence why I plan to make my own instead of buy one. Wink

Hmmm... DIY wreckers is a good idea... I've never seen any 17's or 18's there though. Confused

A while back there was a pair of Ferrrari 328 wheels in the trading post for $500. It was ages ago. But if I knew that adding a swivel chair base and a piece of glass on top made it worth $1000-$2000 I would have snapped them up quick smart.

I've found this one on eBay... It's currently at $10. Cool

Edit: But I just read that it's in Sydney and it says local pickup only, no postage. Sad
