Default Decladding leftovers

Seems like I ran across something like this a while back but couldn't find it again today.
Decladded a set of 5 spoke wheels end of last year and didnt damage the cladding; Almost seems a shame to throw away an undamaged set of cladding for 4 wheels. Is there any use for these- maybe a pack rat's.. erm, a Mancave decoration? Party tray? DIY clock face? Child-hazardous frisbee?
Still have the center caps to make a complete 'face' to the wheel.

Put about 1000 miles on them so far, three wash jobs and lots of dog **** (lets not go there) and after all that I have no complaints. I plan on putting on another coat of sealer in the next few months, but no complaints thus far.
