Just decided to make it stupid simple and not have to fabricate anything at all, going to pick up a coffee table that has a 45x22" beveled glass top to go on these guys tomorrow after work, yes those are race used Toyo Proxes RA1's on the bottom. Total expenditure once I get the coffee table to steal the glass from, $43.
Now I just need to find some matching BBS centercaps for the wheels, that'll probably cost more than everything else so far.

Thanks! By the way, if you ever want BBS center caps, just don't.

a friend of mine has an old Bimmer with BBS and he needs one replacement and from BBS the cost was over $100

I seem to be able to find them off of old E30's and such for about $40 a piece used, and then I could always pop out the roundel and get some red BBS 65mm stickers to go in the middle and that would look alright I think.

You've got my tire table beat. Though mine has a sign on top that was found on the ground after a tornado by my Dad, around 40 years ago.

Is it bad that I have an almost-live-in girlfriend who actually digs all of this stuff?

I was kind of surprised that the sign was almost exactly the same diameter. It works great!

That is the absolute opposite of bad.

She's actually surprisingly tolerant of car things... there's an inoperable Volvo sitting in the far corner of the back yard, it's head is currently on the porch table, and an entire room dedicated to car parts. We'll see how long her tolerance lasts though.

Eh at this point you should just spring the $40 for the real deal. After all you made a sick coffee table for less than $100 at the end of the day even with the center caps. But the stickers would probably look fine too.

That's $40 each for the ones that say BBS, or I could buy these:

and these:

And have both taken care of for under $50.
