Mount a wheel on the wall....

[VRado6]

This may seem kind of odd, but with winter approaching the summer wheels will be coming off the car soon, and what I'd like to do is clean them up and mount one of them on the wall in my "man room". Obviously the mount would have to be fairly sturdy to hold roughly 40lbs. Anyone do this or have any idea how to do this?

If you plan on doing this every year, just use an anchor bolt directly into any stud in the wall. It would easily hold one wheel. IMO, it would look cooler with the rubber off

i'd be scarred of them falling off as members here have had stuff fall of walls into their cars..

you can buy this swell wheel holder stick dealy/rack C1 used to have them i forget the name/what they are called.. or just stack them in the basement

Yep... but that was an exhaust, and it was mounted really high up (almost at roof level)

I have one of these and it works great...alot better than just stacking them up if you ask me (I think it was only like $50 or something too). But I don't think his problem is storage, I think he just want's to add a little spice to his room

Might be kinda costly but the welder that works in my shop here could make you up something out of nice polished stainless or something along those lines. He did a kiosk for a battery salesman in Deerfoot mall if you want to see something he can do. He also did my amp rack.

My man room is my computer/workout/video-game room. Just looking too make it look a little nicer.
