Default Wheel and tire storage racks

Seeing how most F owners change tires or wheels often for track, show, or snow. I wanted to find out what you guys are using to store your wheels and tires or how they are are stored. All I could find for sell on the market are horizontal racks that require to drill into the wall, which I wouldnt want to do cause im only renting. I am more specifically looking for a vertical stacking rack like this, cause I have 2 sets of wheels I need to store to save place.


Please let me know what you guys have or if you can help me locate a place that sells the veritical rack. Thanks in advance guys!

Cardboard works just fine, trust me as I currently have four (4) full sets of wheels in the office warehouse.

What the? LOL! Nah bro Im trying to free up some space with using the rack to stack the wheels. I got the stocks for the F and the STI taking up space, and this rack looks like it will organize the garage better. I should be PCSing next year and every 3-4 years after that (wife's acitve duty and im GS civillian with prior service).So im sure the F would see some snow action sooner or later not to mention I wanted to drag the car before I leave the island so thats another set of wheels again.

Thanks bro, thats the current setup i have right now using cardboard. I just though the rack looked cool and wondering if anyone has them. I was able to find some cotton felts that go inbetween the wheels for $14 sum a pair at tirerack.com. So atleast itll look better than the cardboard

Let the Guam jokes begin LOL.....does the track begin on one end of the island and end on the other end?

BTW I just bag the tires & lean them on the garage wall when I need to store them. I make sure to bag them since temps get pretty cold here until spring/summer

Thanks bro, I was thinking of doing the same, I say the bag and cotton felts at tirerack.com. I just might have to order those and it could be my solution to cleaning up the garage.

The stand you posted does look handy.

It'd be even better if it had locking casters on it to make moving the stack around much easier.

I used to use pieces of cardboard to protect the face of the wheel and stack them on top of each other.

I think the Tire Rack sells a few tire storage racks.
