5 Things to do with your old rims
Its 2008 and you still have those 20’s that were hot in 20001. Perhaps you got caught up in the hype and copped some spinners, only now everybody’s over the allusion and nobody even knows who Sprewell (see intro to market) is. Maybe even you bought rims to big for your car, the wrong bolt pattern or you have thoroughly ruined your suspension. Bottom line: you need to get rid of your old rims. Here’s five things to do with ‘dem twankies.
5. Props for yearbook photos.
Taken from the book of Game, the year you graduated is so 2008. 2009 is about the rims baby! Balance your kids on top, stack em like legos, you name it. Prop those babies up and snap away. A set of four means that you are an honor student or that you letter in lame2
4. Coffee table.
Now that ol ham sandwich can really hold one. All you need is a piece of plexiglass and a couple screws depending on your bolt pattern. Voila! Cadillac furniture. Gully.
3. Basketball rim.
100 spokes? Get a hammer and knock all those things out. Save the spinner and wear it around your neck. Nail this puppy up to the closest tree or telephone pole and your got four quarters of homemade fun! Best part is, Your gonna have to TRY and miss a shot. No Duece…Dub!
2. Fan.
Those spinners can pay off. You’ve got two options: hook up said rim to a power source and keep the baby away, or put this wankie in the window and let nature do the work. I DO NOT recommended adding this to oscillating fans.
1. Three words: Cash 4 GOLD!
Did you say triple gold?! They pay by the ounce man! Stick those shoes in a couple trash bags, send em off and just sit back and wait for the big bucks to start rolling in!

They can also be put down in the front yard and used for planters. I think I’d like to see a shiny flower box.

for the ultimate workout use them instead of dumbells
for decorative purposes stack two with a piece of plexiglass, instant end tables, have a couple extra laying around, throw a red or blues cloth insert lamp kit, great mood light flossing lamp shade
another decorative idea circular Shadow boxes (for the man cave) great and nostalgic to display the memories you have of you and your car with said rims on it

attach two pieces of plexiglass (one to each side of the rim) instant drum for your child to learn a musical instrument (and dont tell me you aint got no chirrens).
if you put two rims together great bass drum
you will be the talk of your neighborhood

Loving the drum idea. I wanna go down Thayer and do my rendition of Love Lockdown. Either that or Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.

Install emptied rim on kitchen wall, great decoration for holding wine bottles or kitchen clothes can also be used in bathroom for holding towels too.
