Na, not that many, but something that hold's at least 6 wheels would do the trick, I'm up to 3.5 sets right now, and with one set on the bike at a time it would be nice to have a sano place to keep the others in the garage without having to box em up and stick em on a shelf... Shelf space is hard to come by in my garage right now...  :(

That's probably a little more than I need, maybe if it was just one rack/shelf instead of multiple...  :-\

What about using a "Firewood Rack"?

Ideally I want one that has some sort of rod that goes through the wheels to keep them from touching each other and the rack so that they don't get scratched...  :-\

Before I can offer a solution I need to know if you want a rack that will hold just the wheels, wheels with tires mounted on them or a mixture of both.

Take a look at Tire Rack:  http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/category.jsp?category=Tire+Storage

Each rack holds 400 lbs. and doesn't take up floor space.

Primarily just the wheels Bud, because I'd probably always have to swap the TPS over from wheel to wheel so having tires already on them probably won't work...  :-\

That's a pretty good price too, thanks GM.  :chugbeer: [size=78%] [/size]

More questions before I can suggest a remedy to your quandary.  Do you have wall space for an application similar to the one shown on the link provided by GM?  If you do and want it on the wall, how large a rack can you accommodate?  If not, your other option would be one on wheels on the floor that can be moved when necessary.  Which will it be?  Whatever way you want to go, the rails upon which the wheels sit can can easily have a rubber strip attached to preclude any scratching of the rims.

Garage space is getting tight Bud, I think that's why I still do like the Pit Bull setup, then I can move it around if need be, I just wish it held 3 sets and not just 2 sets...  :-\
