okay, so I am still working, yes sad I know. but its got me thinking:

At my apartment I have no coffee table in the living room. I also have a random assortment of bent/broken wheels at my house in PA. BBS wheel from audi, sl600 benz wheel another enkei. thinking about making a coffee table.

the obvious is I need a piece of glass to lay on top, probably with felt to keep it from scratching. Anyone have any thoughts of either how to raise it up, or keep the glass on the wheels without completely blocking the view of the wheels?

my just lay a piece of glass over the wheels and call it a day, easily moveable when I move in 6 months, but want all of you genius's ideas. thoughts?

i'd get clear hosing at home depot and then cut a slit down the hose and wrap it around the edge of each wheel.

I've seen them on your car one time. Do you even run them? I love that bronze.
Nice, dude!

yeah i only used them for autox since the tires were shaved and stuff, i didn't feel like wasting good tread on the street when i have 3 sets of wheels and tires. This coming summer i plan to run them more this summer for daily duty as well because you are right, the bronze is a nice color.
