Default Tyre Storage

Just wondering if anyone knows where you can purchase a wall mounted tyre/wheel storage rack in Brisbane.

I think you'll find it's easier to make your own with some tubing and car stands ??
Weld a larger dia pipe on stands then mount the tyre support bar through ...
It will be height adjustable and can be used latter as stands...

Here's something you can consider, it's not wall mounted though but do provide great protection.

Carcoon Tyre Garage

I would recommend building one yourself, if you can weld build a steel one.. if not even timber would probably be ok.

Or maybe from 100mm plastic sewage piping - all the angled adaptors just need to be glued together.

BTW what would be the best way to store tyres with out them deforming - resting on side walls, or hanging on the bead , or the tread sitting on 2 pipes , or make a cradle the same curve as the circumference and then on two pipes?

If you have 17" I will be taking one off my car trailer as I am switching to 18" on the race car. It locks too.

It is 50mm square steel

To mount it on a wall you would need to weld a few tabs on where you want to mount it.
