Would anyone have something like this photo. If so what size material did you use? Your help will be appreciated.

Jim,
Here is one ive been working on for jeep shows, these will be 14ga - 11ga.
Shouldnt need to be thicker.
These will be take down style for packaging.

BTW, those gold spokes bring back memories

What do they do? Jack the wheels up and place them onto stands for car shows?

Jim - here is one you might be able to use. Constructed from 11 ga. steel. You could scale the overall size and adjust material thickness to suit your needs.

id be interested in seeing how you end up doing the take down part. ive been looking to design something like this for shows we go to and usually stack 6-8 rigs but if we could get the first rig flexed on one of these would be awesome

Not sure what Mo means by "take down". Maybe it folds, or uses a slot/tab arrangement. When you say "usually stack 6-8 rigs" - do you mean you stack up the stands so you can show off the chassis flex for an offroad vehicle?

Yes, usually we have a group of us that go to shows together and show off flex. Ill see if i can find some of the pics and ill share them.

Here is one of the quick pics I found. This was before I got my jeep there.

Thanks for the photo explanation. How do you get it up onto the stand? Or is that driven up a ramp on the one side?

I am looking at building a stand, will probably have to have a short ramp of some sort. For now we just drive up the other persons tire and the 1st guy doesnt get to flex his out.

I guess the tires stick out enough from the fenders that you don't run the risk of damaging the other guy's fender.

Been a few times we have gotten close and rubbed a tire against a fender or door. We all beat on them pretty hard and have some sort of damage to them so it's not a huge deal.
