Anyone have a junk 15" racing slick they don't want for a decorating table project?
 
Hi.

I replaced my bent 15x8 repro Fuchs today, and after examining it on the balancer, it is tweaked. I doubt repair would be worth it, or safe. So, I have decided rather than chucking it, I would like to make a project of it.

I thought I would polish the dish really well, repaint the spokes black and add a center cap, and mount a used racing slick on it. Then make a short base to fit the lugs to elevate it slightly and bolt it on with lugnuts, and place a thick round piece of tempered glass on top to make a neat table for my future "man cave".

I'm looking for a full on racing slick, spray painted logo, etc., that will fit a 15x8 rim.

Since the tire would be junk anyway, why kill any more spotted owls by disposing of one tire? :)

I'd of course pay shipping and something for the trouble.

No rush, I'm thinking next month after I get back from a couple short trips.

Go to shop that supports the racers and tell them you want a junk tires. They, most likely, will point you at the stack of tires in the back and ask you how many you want.

Just an FYI -

I left a racing slick as decoration in my Garage. It got real Stinky...

(It was a NASCAR slick)
