How do you store your extra sets of wheels?

Looking for a solution for storing my extra wheels/tires other than in a pile on the floor. Does anyone make a good wall-mounted rack for storing wheels? Any other ideas on ways to store them a bit out of the way?

Thanks in advance...

Hmmm... it says the 13" one will hold one mounted tire, but doesn't mention anything about the 23" one -- any idea if it will hold 2 mounted tires? I have at least 5 mounted tires to store, would prefer not to have to have them hung individually...

Just stack them in a corner is the easiest.

Judging by the pictures it looks like it does.... It should...2 wheels only need like 15" to fit (put the wheel toward the inside). ONly thing I dont' know about is the weight...

It says it will hold 220lbs, which should work for 2 wheels unless you have a monster truck. ;-)

They always make great little tablestands with a sheet of glass over them. I usually end up stacking them up in the upstairs of the shop in between two heavy pieces of wood to keep them from rolling away.
