Make a table out of those old wheels in your garage

- Each wheel and tire combo was approximately $325 at TireRack.com (got them on sale!). That's $650 for the pair.  Kosei K1 TS wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires.
- I got the allthread, nuts, and washers at Lowes for just over $15.
- The casters are from Harbor Freight and came to about $12.
- I got the glass at a local "Mom and Pop" glass place for $40.
- I already had the paint but I think it was about $5.
- I liberated the plywood from the dumpster at work so there was no cost there and I haven't bought any lately so I have no idea how much that would be.

Total for the whole thing came in around $725. That's way more than I would usually pay for a table but since the expensive parts were just taking up space in my garage and I needed a table for my monitor, I figured why not.

The height of your table will vary depending on the size of your wheels and tires. My wheels are 17x7 and the tires are 205/40/ZR17. Overall height including casters and glass is almost exactly 19".

One day I might make another table with the other 2 wheels or possibly get an oval shaped piece of glass to put over both of them and use it as a coffee table.
