Thread: Wheel coffee tables.

Just finished the red one today. I've had the white one for a few years.


The white one is an American Eagle 077 18x8". Used to be polished alum. The red one is a factory 16x8" 1993 Grand Prix GTP wheel. I have one more I want to make a lamp out of. Just too lazy to piece together all of the wiring and fixturing I need.

I used second gen GP front hubs because the mounting bolts are an even 120* degrees apart which make it easy to put legs on to and look right.

I like them.

thats badd ass

I like them a lot. Think they could be put on taller legs & used with bar stools. Win.

I had the legs bent at work for free, I cut them to fit, drilled the hole in each, had the wheel, hub, and legs powdercoated for free, vinyl overlay was $5, and glass was $22. I still need 2 more lugs for the red one at $1 each.

So for me, I had the rims as extra so they were "free" so I have maybe $40 in each for the hardware and bits and pieces I needed.

WIN!!! Awesome idea. Now that's thinking outside the box. And bar stools would be awesome too. I like em.

my uncle has a couple of bullitt wheels stacked up for a coffee table. He also has a 5.0 mustang block(IIRC) with 4 of the pistons on each corner to support a piece of glass.
I'm gonna do one like it with my motor that has a big hole in it.

Ya, I'm working on finding a 60* block to make a table out of.

My uncle has a NASCAR wheel and tire for a coffee table. Always thought it was cool

i wish i worked at a machine shop....

awesome work yet again!

cant wait to get my RSTB mounts from you!
