Re: alfa-digest V8 #327 - What to do with TRX wheels from GTV6?

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       TRX wheels are pretty worthless, but do not send them to the dump.  
Recycle the aluminum at a scrap yard at a minimum.  Plus you might get a buck 
or two for the metal.
       Or get artistic.  I have seen a pretty neat coffee table built from 
bent race car rims.  Cut the rims in half so you have two half circles.  Weld 
the rims together on the round part.  That gives four points on the floor so 
the rim will not roll and four on top to put something on.  Two rims, 
modified as above and a chunk of glass and you have a coffee table.  Or with 
four rims, you could have a set of end tables...
