Repurposing Model "A" Wheels

I have some non-usable Model "A" wheels that I want to repurpose. Please post pictures of what can be done to repurpose these wheels.
 
I use them on the ends of my culverts to keep the larger critters and debris out of them.

Ooooo. I have spots at the ends of my deck and under my front stoop where all sorts of critters find their way in to over the years. This would be a more attractive approach than my current use of old brake rotors. Thanks.
 
Have one hanging on outside wall of garage with 100 ft electric cord around it.


also good for outdoor umbrella stand base.
 
Set up 19" wheel for a hose rack but it didn't hold enough hose.Took a 21" wheel & cut the rolled edges at the same diameter as the outside edge of the 19" & welded them together. Now it will hold a 50' garden hose. Cut a hole in the 19" hub cap 7 snapped in the 21" hub cap. Looks great but take a while to figure out what you're seeing. Now I want to make two more for the back of my '28 roadster pickup but can't find any 7.00 x 21" tires!

My Grandfather used them for dead men to hold up the retaining wall at our cabin.
Still working after 89 years.
