Default Wheel storage question.....

Anyone know where to get something to hang my Drag wheels/tires on that mounts on a wall? I want to get them off my garage floor.

Tried a google search but came up empty.

TIA!

Ron

I went to Lowes and picked up 4 wall brackets and modified them to hang my tires/rims flush with the wall. They were under $10 each, in the section with the Garage storage solutions stuff - they have foam covering the area that would contact the rim

Sweet, thanks!
What modification did you have to do?

cut a small 90* bend of the end so that the wide rims fit good

use a pipe cutter for plumbing

Thanks again! Weekend project.
Where are you in NJ? I'm in Manalapan.

Thanks Dave!
No need to bring it twisted. I can see fine in the pic. Thanks for the help.
I'll be racing at atco in a rental later on today!
