What to do with extra rim?

I have a left front rim that is out of round and not sure what to do with it. It seems too cool to go to the recycler but that it where it is headed. Any ideas or interest? It is free to anyone who wants it

Put a piece of glass on top of it and you have a coffee table for the man cave.

Would also look good on you shop/garage wall.

Mount it on the wall and use it as a hose reel.

Place out in the yard and plant a tree in it. Your future family members will love it.

I use the extra wheels I have for safety. when I jack up the car I put them under the frame rail..if it falls off one of the jacks i'm covered.

Keep it for a full sized spare.

All good ideas.

Also you could buy a clock motor and turn it into a wall clock.

A hose reeel, that is a great idea

Wife wont go for it, and there is no center cap, so it might go the recycler. If anyone wants it in the chicagoland area it is free to anyone for pickup.

Just put it in your yard with a sign "For Sale $10" on it, somebody will steal it...you're done with it.
