    As title, it's time to get my stack of wheels mounted onto the wall to get them out of the way and clear some space.

    Has anyone got any recomendations for this sort of thing? Obviously needs to be safe, no risk of falling off.

    TIA :)

    don't think i would trust anything like that . why not put them in the rear of the car when its garaged ? or stack them in the corners ?

    Yeah, I was pausing to think about that. Dunno - need something, and it would be so much better to have the car empty when stored.

    yep, there is one in the garage holding the lawnmower up so i think they would take the weight, you should be able to find some that extend out enough.
    i keep my wheels up in the roof on a piece of board across the roof beams but i guess it depends how your garage is built?.

    What about shelving that hangs from the ceiling, keeps the wheel high up out of the way, doesnt interfere with floor space and take up minimal wall space?

    I'm just pondering a wheel rack in the ceiling, though it will take up poss too much headroom. Couple of borrowed scaffold poles and something to mount each end on the walls?

    Tbh though, the wall I was thinking of has no other use - 7 inch width shelving max, so I may as well attach wheels to it.

    Anyway, I just thought that there'd be loads of options available - suprising how little there was after a search.

    Nope, sorry!

    A set of trackday tyres, a random set and a set off the daily - that's 12-14 straight away!
