Plastic display wheels

Hello,
I saw these on ebay and had to bid. Thought they would look good with a redline and a tire stand. I wonder if a tire stand will hold up with a real wheel and tire or would that be too heavy???

I have an old Firestone tire floor display stand which is made of thick plastic and I put an actual 14x7 XT steel wheel, dog dish hub cap and vintage E70-14 wide oval tire on the stand for display and it is holding up just fine.. Not too much weight for the stand.. BTW.. Cool pieces you have there...

Pete, you couldn't image the amount of stuff around there. It would "blow your mind"!!! "Been there seen it"!!

More please!

I'll second that! We's all love to see more but I understand why people are reluctant to post pix of their collections. You never know who's lurking, taking notes, and waiting to strike.
So,............. as much as we'd like to see the entire shop, y'all might want to be cautious.

Love the lighted display Steve.

I keep one of these atop my Sunoco Blender pump.
Finding a 1960's NOS Firestone Town & Country SnowBiter tire took awhile.
