Yeah your 1/2" should look real taught and robust PGT!

You may need a larger diameter though as your 20" BBS wheels are like 22-23" in total diameter.

oh yeah...I'll wait until they arrive until I order to determine what works best. I think I'm going to build two....the wheels being elevated with bases below, vs the stacked arrangement you have. We'll see.

I love the tables - and the Mini-love seat aint bad either

I'd ditch the square coasters and find/make some round Mini emblem coasters, Liquid Yellow Owners Club emblem coasters, a cool Gauge coaster, or something - just not made from the bamboo mat - I think using the bamboo mat for the coasters draws the eye to the bamboo too much & I think you want to draw the eye to the wheels.

Overall though - l really really like it!

I'm not worried about them coasters. It won't be too bad to grind them off of the glass tops!

Thanks for the neat ideas though. BTW what does a Liquid Yellow Owners Club emblem look like?

Those end tables are swank! Much classier than your standard cable spool end tables, or wagon wheel coffee table.

And I thought I was crafty for gluing some cork to the back of failed CD-R burns to make coasters.

wifey saw these and said 'uhh....where do you think you're putting those?' needless to say, if anybody wants to take on this project, it's all yours. $160 for both (what I have in them).

Ok Modnar, that's some expensive wagon wheel furniture!

Yeah That7guy those are some sweet coffee tables.

I love the V8 with the wine bottles! But does it really need the timing chain? hehe What's the other motor(flathead V8)?

And PGT keep working on your wife. Put the end table in your basement with your big screen!

Love the S-lite tables. That's a great use for those lunkers.

Anyone have one of these?
