Had so many large s wrenches all the same. Came up with this idea. 4' tire rim worked well

That hub bearing looks like it'll be a little hard on the axle. Beautiful wall hanger tho.

>hard on the axle

Silly, it goes on 8 lug nuts, all different sizes, just like my first car.

The trick is getting the heads to all line up at the same time.....

Very neat wheel, reminds me of some of the old valve handles..

How good would that look hanging from the ceiling on chains, attach a few lights similar to the ones in old western saloon movies.
I suppose you would need to own a saloon though.

I suggested that to my wife once and she shot it down right away!

Almost looks like the wrenches were made for that wheel.

Thank goodness it doesn't need to be balanced!!
Imagine the amount of lead weights it would take.

Little buffing up and it should slip over a spline drive axle!!!!!!
