I need ideas for repurposing tire rims (not the tires)

Question

I have demo tire rims and want to do something creative with them rather than send them to salvage. They are new and shiny. One is blue, one is red, some are black, and some are silver.

I glued tire rims together (3) and put a circle of wood on top.  I antinqued the rims and stained the top.  Used it for kitchen table for 15 years.  Heavy duty.  You could get some one to weld them together.  From the side the rims looked great.

You can leave them the way they are. Make a side table. Go to Home Depot to buy a table legs for them to stand. You can either put round wood or square/round glass on top. Then put a nice plant on top.

Make foot stools. Staple some fabric to a piece of wood cut to fit the rim, with a little padding in between & there ya go!
