4 - M6 wheels - what do I do with them?

I recently cracked one of my M6 wheels (reps) and bought 4 new wheels as a result.

The question now is, what do I do with these?

A: sell the 3 good ones - decent shape, some curb rash. Problem is, I live in the upper mid-west where the market for this kinda stuff on Craigslist is VERY slim

B: Any cool project ideas? Maybe build some sort of table? Other ideas?

In my experience, these will sit in my garage / basement for years....

Thoughts?

I'd turn one of them into a table, but I don't know if you have access to a welder or any kind of fab shop.

We cut the rear half of the wheel off and kept the face, then welded a bezel cone down to a base. Took the face off the wheel and found a glass insert to fit the diameter, then build a frame for the glass out of sweet mahogany. We milled a slot on the inside of the wood where the glass met and ran LED strips around the perimeter so the wheel lit up. Good project if you have some time and the materials.

We did this with an cracked LM years ago, I think my buddy still has it in his basement. I'll see if I can get a picture.

Put them on CL for a month or so and price them aggressively. Put then on the for sale section of this forum as well. You can try and sell just the three of them, or fix the bad ones, buy a fourth wheel and sell as a complete, ready-to-go set.

eBay it. Shipping should be about ~45+ish off of fedex/ups ground.

Lay the rim on it's side, stick a big round piece of glass on top, and call it a day.
