Robbie,
Some uses for old rims:
1) stretching and storing tubular (AKA sew-up) tires
2) hanging coat or clothing racks (in the horizontal or vertical orientation)
3) make a mobiles, collages, dart board frames, toss-in-a-hoop games, picture frames, sculpture, or wind chimes (use whole or in pieces, bent to shape)
4) Spray paint and arrange several in a large Olympic logo or Goooogle sign
5) Recycle at your local recycling or scrap metal center
6) Wrap with padding and use it as a chewie/wrestling toy for a big dog (or an alligator?)
7) send to Resource Revival for re-use in objets d' art:
