Wheel as hose real/holder

[T56 Impala]

So I have a few old wheels here. Both are beyond repair. One BMW Style 32 and one Audi style???. I'd like to mount them to the wall to hang an air hose on or maybe a garden hose. How would you suggest mounting them?

GRK Lag Bolt if you can get to a stud with two of the bolt holes. If not, Mount wheel to a 2x that is long enough to reach 2 studs.

I would get a lag bolt about 3-4" or so longer than the distance from lug seat to wall. Get a lug nut that is correct for the wheel, cut off hex from lag, insert into lug, weld. The lag bolt is assuming the wall is wood and you can mount this into a stud. You could use 3 lags, 2 into the stud the third is a dummy just to look right.

I have done the same thing, I overthought it a bunch, I was going to find an old hub/bearing assy to mount up, then I was looking for long bolts and making spacers etc.etc

In the end, I cut up a few 2x4's stacked them up enough to match up the offset of the wheel. Screwed them to a longer 2x4 that I screwed between 2 studs, Then used 2 lag bolts through the lug nut holes. Not pretty but the wheel hides most everything.

All was scrap I had laying around. So far been like that for a year. One has 75 feet of 3/4 inch hose and the other has about 150 feet of 5/8 hose.

got a few in my shop .

good lag bolt threw lug holes . or threaded rod on end of cabinet to inside and a 2x4 on the inside as a backer .

also if center cap covers lug area with room to spare use a 4 bolt pipe flange on wall in to stud with lag bolts . then length of pipe to get out and another 4 bolt flange as like a spanner nut to sandwich to the wall . then install the lug area cover .

i can get some pics later tonight .
i got a few . one is a bling bling 24" rim with my 75ft of oxy/act cutting hose on it .

This is how I did mine:


Piece of flat steel welded to a piece of square tube with an old circular saw blade welded to the other side (after removing saw teeth). Saw blade drilled for bolts that would match some chrome lugnuts.

I drilled a hole in the lip where the bead seals. One on the top and one on the bottom and used two deck screws to mount it to a wall stud. It was a 1952 chevy steel wheel and I put the center cap on it.

This is exactly what I did, just went through the lug bolt hole into a stud.

Funny story........ My buddy had just moved into a rent house and we were setting up the garage. It was sheeted with plywood. He had an old car rim and drilled a couple holes, drove lag bolts in them, wrapped the air hose up proudly then moved on to something else. Pretty soon hey where's all this water coming from? Yup drove a lag right through a water line. If I remember right we spent the rest of the night fixing that mess.

Here is what I did with some square tubing, threaded rod, a long nut and a hockey puck.

That is sick. What does that wheel fit? I have some 17" OZ wheels off a Viper and the rears are at least 12" wide. They are Magnesium.

I have an old Porsche wheel in my shop holding air hose. I stacked a three pieces of 2X4 to get me the depth I needed then a 1/2" lag through the stud hole on the wheel. Been working great for about 6 months now. Need to buy some more hose and do the same on the other side of the shop.

The first pic is from THE classic GJ garage by....hmm....what was his name? Ha ha, Nimrod. He hasn't been back on GJ in many years. GREAT garage, one of my all time favorites.

The 2nd one is mine. A $20 cracked mag from Craigslist mounted on a spare tire holder from Harbor Freight.

Thank you. It’s a rear wheel off of Vettel’s Red Bull F1 car. Crazy light at about 14” diameter and width.

You are way over thinking this. I have. Heavy duty bike hook holding up an 18" rim with a tire.

Wow, that is amazing. I'd love to hear the story behind that acquisition. Mine have 295's on the front and 335's on the rear. Road course tires.

I like this one>>>>>

 

[NUTTSGT]

I made something like a square with some steel welded together, one side was longer so it could be lagged to the wall. The opposite side has two holes drilled with bolts to hold the wheel on.

 

[T2R9]

Since my walls are OSB I used 3/8" wall plates and tapped the center 1/2"-20, cut rod to fit through the lug holes and 3 lug nuts hole it on the wall. The other 2 are 1/2" bolts with a lug nut screwed on.

I like the H F idea

X 3 on drilling thru the rear bead. I mounted some sort of junkyard aluminum wheel to the concrete block wall, just above our outside spigot. I roll the garden hose up on it. I drilled 4 holes in the wheel, and used Tapcons into the block.

 

[ludakris04]

Different mounting,
but I used a piece of 2x4 for the lip to sit on, then all-thread

ATV wheels from Craigslist for air hose and extension cords. One big lag bolt into a stud and dummy nuts and bolts to fill the rest of the lug holes.
