Expensive for a table, but very creative.
I have 17" at home, I will try that:
4 curved metal legs
1 25" glass

If I try to assemble such a task and complete it I will post the end result.

How much would each wheel be to buy from BMW parts?
If they are cheaper we can make money (by flogging tables) and if they are dearer, we can make money by buying the tables and flogging them as wheels.


Maybe they'd get a bid if there was a tyre on it

I've seen a cool glass table once. It was an actual F1 tire on it's rim and the glass on top. Looked cool, and was expensive.

The guy/gal who designed the table must be really stupid. Had he/she ever thought that the table would tip over and fall on his/her foot? If the table were placed on the carpet, chances are it'll fall over.
In conclusion, it's a geniously stupid design

This is the same thing a company called Wing Nuts does with airplane parts. Discovery Channel showcases them.

Thats a good table. And as a table, about as useful as an ash-tray on a motorbike.
Maybe sprinkle it with a dash of brake dust.
