Default What are you using for storing your extra set of wheels in/ on your garage wall?

Looking for a nice set of "wheel storage hooks" that would mount onto the garage wall...hooks that I can "hang" my wheels on.

Any suggestions/ pictures?

Thanks everyone!

Default I use this rubbermaid product I purchased from Home Depot...

I really love it, it wasnt expensive and they have a multi pupose hook that works great for wheels... I have this on both sides of the garage for a great all around storage solution.

Default

that is cool. And it is strong enough to hold a set of wheels?

Default I am using a combo of drywall anchors and screws directly into studs...

I have had this setup for over a year and no issues to speak of...

Default looks great! but one question..

how easily do you get the tire up to the higher levels? are u tall (&amp; strong!) enough to lift it straight up to the hook, w/ your feet still on the floor? or do u use that ladder?

Default I am 6'1" and pretty strong...

I have a small 2 step ladder I use to take them down and put them up... It is a pain to do but I can mount them lower if I so choose, I dont swap tires too often. I am thinking of putting some all season rubber on the RS4's and use them for winter.... might move them down lower if I decide to go that route...
