Default Wall tire hangers??

I was wondering if anyone sells a tire hanger for the wall?? I have an extra set of rear tires for racing only and dont have much room in the garage for them. I would like to hang them on the wall, but can't seem to think of a way make something, and would rather buy something sturdy...
Anyone know of anything??
TIA.... Chris

A local tire store here uses the hangers for garden hoses. Cheap and reasonably strong.

I forgot to mention they were mounted on original rallye styler rims.... do you think that the garden hose hanger could withstand all that weight??

How much does a tire/rim weigh anyway??

I bought these for my race trailer. They work pretty well and would look nice in a garage. Ebay Tire Rack

Griot's Garage used to carry some pretty hefty looking pieces!

Thanks for all the replies guys...

rihwoods... my garage is actually finished off w/o rafters.... directly above is my townhouse... people in my building love me rumbling over their dinner

Robrace.... that looks pretty sleek, but kinda pricey...

Danthony and patrick... I looked in griots but oculdnt find it at first... thanks for the part #s. that more in the price range I was figuring, but I wonder if they really can hold up 220lbs... doesnt look as sturdy as those on ebay??

I hate making decisions!
