Anyone make coffee tables with extra rims?

**Saturnine** · 08-04-2004 12:36 PM

Thinkin about picking up a pair of the Flik Justices.. $99 bucks a piece for 17's.. Seeing as how im moving soon, im gonna need new furniture etc.. What do you guys think, just a small piece of glass on top and be done with it??

**foofighter** · 08-04-2004 12:38 PM

you my friend are the nuts...

**Saturnine** · 08-04-2004 12:38 PM

wtf is wrong with the pic??

**MKGIY** · 08-04-2004 12:39 PM

That would be sweet. I think you should do it.

**jpsimon** · 08-04-2004 12:41 PM

do it

**D Piddy** · 08-04-2004 12:50 PM

i made one with my MM Evo 5, lemme post some pics later. i think i've got pics somewhere of my entire construction, came out really well. i don't have time rihgt now to dig thru them and then host them, but i'll do it later. and ALLBrand's ownin u hardcore, me too

**DDQ** · 08-04-2004 12:50 PM

I would think you could do it a lot cheaper. Go to a junkyard.

Wouldn't you need to stack two just to get it high up enough?

I don't think the pic will work b/c there's parentheses in the link.

**Thrawn** · 08-04-2004 12:56 PM

Do it!!! I have a 19" BBS LM I've been waiting to make a coffee table out of. My buddy is in the works of making a dining table with shocks, springs and struts as legs, and a set of 16" Mini wheels to hold the glass up. And then maybe some control arms...

**needforspd** · 08-04-2004 01:02 PM

do it!

I have 2 Racing Harts from my Accord i plan on doing something with. Was thinking some kinda seat or something since it's only 2 rims.

**EVIL-AUDI** · 08-04-2004 01:02 PM

If he does that make sure he lowers it correctly.

**wnut** · 08-04-2004 01:09 PM

i have a pic somewhere... did it wht my old rh c2..then used it as a door stop. kinda useless/lame imo.

however this is teh cool!

**EVIL-AUDI** · 08-04-2004 01:12 PM

That is the sh1t, straight up.

**DDQ** · 08-04-2004 01:25 PM

That's very cool. But also looks very heavy.

**S4audi_SD** · 08-04-2004 01:33 PM

Do it Saturnine, it's creative and original, and it'll look SIK. All you need is a large round glass and you're set. I'd like to see pics of that, and when i move out soon, i'll probably end up jacking your idea. Sorry in advance.

***RippleChip*** · 08-04-2004 01:39 PM

I have a Celebration rim I am doing that with.
Just don't have the glass yet.

**Saturnine** · 08-04-2004 01:45 PM

Yeah.. Maybe 3 rims then? Hmm.. maybe i could put some sort of light in the middle of the rims..

Hmm... So many desicions

**Saturnine** · 08-04-2004 01:46 PM

**DDQ** · 08-04-2004 01:57 PM

Or you could just use the rim as a base for a stripper pole in your living room. It's your choice.

**D Piddy** · 08-04-2004 03:02 PM

here's how i made mine. i took a square piece of plywood i had and cut it in half into two smaller squares, both slightly less than the inner diamter of my rim. then i cut a notch in each equal to the thickness of each the boards. once fitted together, i painted the entire thing flat black so as to make it less noticeable. next i cut a round piece of plywood. i used this foam crap they had at the sewing store where i bought my felt to give the top some padding. i intentionally stuffed the felt top to the board pretty large so that it would completely fill up every inch of the inner portion of the rim. the round top isn't held on to the bottom in any way, but the weight of the wheel keeps it firmly in place. then i bought a piece of glass from a local shop for about $60 and voile, my coffee table!!!

and the finsihed product, sorry the glass is dirty right now but u get the idea

**D Piddy** · 08-04-2004 03:08 PM

how bout this for a deal, buy 6 Flik Justices, have them delivered to my house. let me put 4 on my car and i''ll construct two bases for the two extra rims, then i'll send everything to u so u odn't have to deal with all the trouble of makin the table, so, wut'd u say?

**Saturnine** · 08-04-2004 03:10 PM

Sounds like a plan to me!!

**wnut** · 08-04-2004 06:53 PM

wow...that's alot more complicated then my wheel+tire+glass table. still belongs in a dorm room imo.

**bong2611** · 08-04-2004 07:10 PM

Thats pretty cool. I've got a spare ADR M-sport wheel i can use.

**L0rd oF da Ring** · 08-04-2004 07:17 PM

i was gonna do that but it was too low. yu'll see how low it is if u try it, if u think about it, it's only 8" high then

yup, it's my coffee table in my room. works well. people really love it and how unique it is

**needforspd** · 08-04-2004 10:35 PM

Isnt this in the Dahlback office? I remember seeing this somewhere before, I think Eurotuner a couple months ago?

your table looks great and gives me an idea on what to do w/ the extra rims I have lying around.

yeah i did try it. didn't do anything but got into the way and tripping over it after coming home at 3am. upgraded it into a door stop for awhile then finally into the trash bin. (it was a bent rim)

that does happen often. when i stumble into my room, i occasionally hit the glass top pretty hard, but it's still worth it.

**audidood** · 08-06-2004 12:14 AM

nice thread. i say do it. it screams out your midnight modder nature...

If you are really interested in car furniture, check out http://www.paulsexotics.com/Exotic%2...0Furniture.htm Although the little red x's may show up, you can click on it and the pics will show up. This guy makes couches, bars, etc. that look like exotics.

**shehatezme** · 08-06-2004 03:06 PM

That's ***ing hot.

**jpsimon** · 08-06-2004 03:28 PM

bad ****ing ass

**audidood** · 08-06-2004 03:36 PM

i like the lambo one best.

***RippleChip*** · 08-06-2004 03:47 PM

Yeah that is sick. Love the drink holders.

**D Piddy** · 08-06-2004 03:55 PM

since i got new wheels, i can ship someone a very good, but not cmpletely round Mille Miglia Evo 5 to be made into a table. i'm asking $40+shipping bc the rim weighs a crapload. all defects are unnoticeable. any imperfections can be fixed using a metallic silver sharpie bc coincidentally, the MM silver is virtually identical to that of the sharpie
