360 Coffee Table project...

[rico]

Just had a random idea...

need a coffee table for my new apartment in London, so thought i would source an old 360 alloys wheel, and place a sheet of toughened glass over the top. Would be pretty cool i think.

Where would be the best place to source an old alloy? Obviously one thats porous or unuseable would be perfect.

How much would i have to pay for one of these though?

Crazy idea? Or Genius at work?

I've got some gallardo rims which I can split when I take them off in october if there any good (4 fronts on my rs6)

That would be perfecto.

Only slight problem is you're up north...

Dusty,

The new flat is empty, so i'm having to buy/blag/nick furniture anyway. So its a nice new start so i thought i'd go for something different.

Problem is i can't really afford to spend tonnes on just a coffee table - thus why i'm looking for an alloy thats no longer road-useable. Although i might just treat myself to a Gallardo alloy so we'll see what happens.

Sadly as the Gallardo rims were in pristine condition I can't really justify the price for a coffee table.

However, if anyone out there is looking for a set, give jon an email as they are a good price

So... the hunt continues for a rim...

Go wash your mouth out with soap!

I'll try for the F50 wheel tonight, but i would imagine the reserve is a lot higher than what it currently is at.

Also, i'd prefer to keep to Ferrari or Lambo wheels. The X5 wheel, although interesting, doesn't have the specialness of the Ferrari ones

Rico, if you do manage to find somewhere that sells these at a decent price (2nd hand) I will be very interested in getting one too ! So we can haggle for a pair !!

A guy on FerrariChat has PMd me saying he may have access to a few.. so i'll let you know mate

Kevin - i've emailed Verdis to ask but haven't heard back. I also like the Challenge wheels, so i'll keep an eye out for those too.

I'm in no real rush so i'm just waiting for a good price and a nice wheel

Obviously i'd be very grateful if anyone hears of any they could email me via my profile or post in this thread.
