I've done this wheel rim grinder stand before, but mine was for a belt sander not a bench grinder, I had a little problem with it wobbling about a bit, eventually I filled the deep side of the rim with quick setting dry mix concrete to give it more mass which worked well, Just thought I'd let you know if you ever need the idea.

yea I know a 16 inch wheel off of an older 3/4 ot 1 ton would of been better but hey gotta use what I got. My six inch vise is on a stand with a 20 inch truck wheel for the base.
I can live with the bit of wobble due to the fact that it has to be mobile. If I do need to weight it down it will probably get a big hunk of iron laid on it so that I can take it off when the time comes that I need to move it.
