Right now it’s just an 18” aluminum deck ornament. Surely we can find some use for it?

Trim it down and turn the face into a wall clock.

I like the table idea but:

1) is it repairable? 2) does it match your other wheels? then it would be worth it to repair it and have it available as a spare. And this is a ... Japanese/Korean wheel?

Mount it in the garage for either an air or water hose or extension cord.

It’s broken beyond repair. Got in a fight with a curb. Curb won. Took it to a wheel shop. They gave it a try but couldn’t straighten it. Too far gone. Already was able to find a used single to match my set. It has some curb rash but is actually a circle.

I really like the hose reel and table ideas. Very practical, and you’ll have the most pimpin hose reel on the block.

However, what I’d recommend is just finding a useless 18" tire with the biggest sidewalls you can possibly find, then finding the nearest mountain, and then doing this (it’s completely SFW despite being Liveleak; it’s also filmed with potato):
