Make a fireside wood store
OK these are not old rims they are new ones waiting to be built up
the 2 fat rims side by side work well for my logs but with some metal spacers bolted on to any old rims and a couple of coach bolts as legs to stop em rolling away

I think they could look pretty good

I've got a few old rims sitting around ready to be turned into clothes hangers when I get some spare time (bent spoke to make the hook and threaded in reverse through the eyelet). Like the Reynolds carbon one that was on here a few months ago...

I like that 40mpg. Thinking of building a low budget fat bike from my pile of frames, scrap wheels & spares box and a little help from an angle grinder and mig welder. Those are definitely the flavor of wheels that will be going on it.
