So I was cleaning my garage and stacked an old bent wheel on an old tired shop stool and figured I would have some fun making a BMW wheel shop stool

I had seen some cheesy plastic Brembo brake covers on ebay (people actually use these to fake their calipers into looking like they have a Big Brake Kit - jeeeeez), so I ordered a set ($15!). I had an old slotted rotor laying around, so I had all the pieces sitting around as junk to make my new shop stool

Only thing left is to add the Roundel and clean the rim

So how does it feel to sit on lugnuts? Might have been better to just use bolts with a small head that sinks into the holes and thread a nut on the back to hold the rotor on. Looks cool though!

Neat. I've got an extra wheel laying around. Trying to figure what to do with it. It's still got the tire on it. Not site how'd that work for a chair.

Love the idea but am also curious as to how comfortable those lug bolts are lol
Great originality though!

Love the stool.

I was thinking you could install a clean piece of clear plexiglass to mitigate ass chappage.

With a flat piece you will end up with what I refer to as, "tortilla ass" but I think that's better than being butt hurt.

Serious note though I love the plexiglass idea.
