Default Tire based furniture?

Now that I have my summer tires on, the winter tires & rims are sitting in my apartment. Is there someway I can convert these tires to some sort of tire-based furniture? Maybe stools for a table?

or this?

Well if you want a real table/bottle holder, you could always do the one similar to the table on Top Gear (obviously this is not the Jaguar V12 though)

While this would appear to be a great idea, tires don't smell very nice. You'll definitely notice the smell if they're sitting in your living/family room. This applies to new and old tires.

Tire-based chandelier, an update of those wagon-wheel light fixtures?

If you had a bunch and the wheels had the right-sized holes... wine rack?

End tables for one of tho$e 57-Chevy-based sofas?

I really could have used that wheel barrow on Memorial Day weekend.
