another useless DIY by me: wheel table in 7 easy steps!
 

short story even shorter: i got a free rota grid, i had some extra plexiglass laying around, i've been known to cut shit up for no reason, and i had a lot of extra time this weekend.

step 1. acquire rim. eat lots of chik-fil-a waffle fries.

step 2. get a jig-saw. read the caution label. notice it says to always use protection (for your eyes).

step 7. peel off protective covering from plexiglass and lay on top of wheel. put something on top of the plexiglass to make your wheel table look useful.

:lol: :lol: :hgrin: :lol:

wow mike.....i thought u were gonna make a try at making a copy of that wheel or something but a wheel table?! too much time on your hands buddy.

oh yeah...i should've added to step 4 - "cut the circle with your jigsaw"

hahaha :lol: what do your parents think of this?

how much shipped to 96766 i want a slipsteam table :p

they looked at me like i was all sorts of crazy.

send me a slipstream and like $60 and you've got a table. lol

is it still there? how long do you think it will stay before they say get rid of it

i'm taking it with me back to school...so it doesnt matter what they say. i'm leaving tomorrow.

Bwahahahahahaha great diy !!!!!! Kool table to boot, Just add a can of stella Artois !!!! :)

lol wrong section!! nice DIY thoyugh but that would be one small table..

so whats up with these ROTA wheels i hear alot about?. are these wheels popular or something?. why so much hype?

theyre relatively inexpensive and are generally really close replicas of much more expensive wheels. they even have similar weights to the original wheels.

yeah but if ROTA is so popular and so mainstream. than who the hell are they copying from?. LOL. i thought ROTA was it's own.

volk, work are some companies.

I think rota's are great wheels! :-D

good DIY !!! but you should really fab up some stands for it now

They copy Volk, Mugen, SSR, and Spoon. I want to say Advan too but i'm not sure. There are probably more but that's all I can think of now.

lol....way too much time. If you have more time make a stand with a bolt pattern on top so you can bolt the wheel to it. Then you have a taller table :)

If you have a LOT of extra time and a brake roter you could at the too :lol:

hahaha nice!
I got a few things planed-out for "furniture" when i get my own place.

Bass drum coffee table. old bass drum, laying on back, with round or square glass top. tah dah!! instant coffee table. ....do kinda the same thing with a floortom-drum but as a nightstand thing. :giggle:

similiar idea to my tire table. nice job!

you made a tire table? do post up

awesome, so now come up with something to do with a Hood

big ass bbq pit?

That'd be a sweet bbq pit cover! :giggle:
:rockon: :rockon:

ok so now all we need is a rota dining table and some matching rota chairs.....

Whats next spinner tables?

I am 100% serious I almost had 16" HFP wheel/Toyo Proxes 4 tires coffee table, but I built an oak and tile coffee table that is extremly nice.
