Turning spare rims into hose reels

Was thinking of using a busted rim for a garden hose reel, has anybody made one before and got any tips to keep the ghetto factor down?

 

Hide it behind the sofa on the front porch.

 

Yeah, go to Lowes and buy a real one

If it is a car steel rim put on a plastic hubcap. Either way, paint it a colour that matches the trim on your house, whether it is a bike or aluminum car rim.

 

Or just attach it to the chicken coop out back.

 

Ha the kids are in luck it would be around the side.From what Ive seen hardware stores have mostly plasticky crap and the reuse/Diy part has some appeal.

 

Put it on top of the old washing machine next to the Impala on blocks. Should fit right in. Don't forget to put christmas lights on it come July.

 

Use a carbon fiber rim.

 

Make sure its a chrome rim attached to a chrome extended swingarm.

I actually want to make an air hose real for my shop out of a front wheel attached to a set of forks that are bolted to the floor, upside down.

 

I hear Durrani is making a magnesium hose reel. Coming soon.

 

That's not ghetto I think its a pretty kickass idea really!

 

I use an old 16" Interceptor rim as an air hose real. I just mounted it to the compressor so I don't have to loop the hose around the handle. I just drilled a couple of holes in the shroud around the compressor and bolted into the disc mounting holes.

 

Use a brand new 16.5 Mag wheel (cast or forged)

We a few few in the warehouse, if you can't locate any.

 

U could go ghetto fabulous and cut old tires with crowns on top and paint em :up:

 

I have a Chromed K^ GSXR 600 as my hose real mate

 

You have got to be the Ghettoest (I say is as a compliment) Kiwi ever!

 

I like sexual things in my garden to look at. As I cannot work due to back issues, I need as much around me to fill in a day as positively as I can.

 

Its the chrome part that i am referring to!

 

got that buddy
