Vice stand

In an effort to make room in my small workshop I am going to knock a stand up for my big vice that can be moved around.
I am thinking an old truck brake drum but not sure if it will be stable enough,I do have a damaged truck wheel rim I could use 22.5 inch.
Could do with some inspiration I'm leaning towards the wheel rim for a bigger footprint.

I made mine with legs of 1x2x0.063 on a 2x2x.187 pedestal. Allows me to get my feet closer. Still portable with a good hearty, huff and puff.

I made one up for a 6" vice.
Brake drum off an 18 wheeler. 4" x 1/4" square tube welded to a plate disc bolted to the drum. Plate on top to mount the vice, offset so vice centre of gravity is over the post.
It worked out great, no stability issues. If you do a post search for vice stand you can have a look.
