Talking A Clock Like No Other

I had a small mishap with a low curb. Turns out that I bent two rims and needed two tires and a wheel bearing as well. The Dealership asked me if I wanted the parts so I took them home. The rims only had 3,000 miles on them and they looked great except for a very slight bend that you couldn't notice with your eye. So I took a saw zall and a clock and made the clock below. Actually two. I gave the dealership one and I have one. I don't think there are any others like it considering I made them. Anyway, I though you'd all get a kick out of it. Take a peek.

Very Cool. The clock takes away from finding the bend.

They're in my shed. I got the insurance to buy me two new ones. They have a scuff on the sidewall. I would have kept them if the insurance didn't pay for two new ones. They don't look bad to me.
