Storage - Rims and Wheels
I just purchased a set of stock C5 rims with run flat tires already mounted. I do not anticipate placing these on my car until next year.
I am storing the rims and tires in my garage on their sides on top of each other (four feet high). Is this the proper way to store these rims and tires?

That's the way I always stored mine. I put a piece of cardboard in between each tire/wheel and also had an old rag covering the face of each wheel.
