Opened up a hole in a wheel cap to fit the clock

Test fit

Final product!

Thanks, I actually like the dirty look. When I get larger hands, I'll clean the wheel up as well.

If you have a wheel that has to be scrapped but visually OK, I'd say you've got yourself a good starting point for a office clock.

yes i will but ive really been procrastinating, got a set of wheels im trying to get fitted and everything for spring, so im doing that first then will finish and i will definitly post up pics when im done

GRLPWR · 01-07-2013, 12:10 PM

Great idea but a total waste of a center cap.....especially since I'm always looking for spares! lol Great idea though. I've always liked furniture made from/out of car parts.

i agree that the longer arms would look better. guess that'll be "clock build part 2," hah.

Eric335 · 01-07-2013, 09:59 PM

Thats awesome! Wish i had one

tmo24 · 01-07-2013, 10:01 PM

I would put a trim around the outer rim where the curb rash is and do a color scheme that resembles a Movado or Rolex or something. Or you could just bedazzle it.

bdbahh · 01-07-2013, 10:06 PM

I'd say get a little more creative with it. Paint it black with big white hands and markings of the time on the wheels. Maybe just me but I'd do a little bit more than installing a clock in the middle.
