Default Looking for something creative to do with my stock wheels...

So I have my stock WS6 wheels, only 1900 original miles, mint condition with the factory Goodyear Eagle tires.
I was looking for some ideas on what to do with them? Hate to just stack them in the corner of the garage and let them collect dust.
Has anybody ever thought of something creative to do with them? I have a mancave and was thinking about stacking 2 on top of each other and having two 24" round beveled glass tops made and use them for end tables? Or maybe hang them on the wall? I really dont know and would like to keep them as neat and clean as possible in case I ever put the car all back to 100% stock.
Give me some ideas...

not barstools, if ppl have jeans on or pants with the little metal eyelet button things on the back it'll probably scratch the rim. you can turn them into tables, or stand for a display case of sorts and put any trophies from your car in there or diecast model of the car with pictures and what not.. clock is a good idea as long as the room is big enough where it doesn't look out of place.. build a box, set them down flat on top of the box with a nice piece of plexi glass over the top and turn it into a bar. use the open space in the box on the backside as storage. possibilities are endless!

hang them up and use them as hose reels

people will never see them as artsy furntiture or decoration.

I like the table idea but dont want to dismount the tires.
I like the shelf idea, put them on tire display stands and then get a 10" wide 3 or 4 foot long glass and put it over 2 or 3 of them.
Still thinking and you guys are coming up with some great ideas.
