Just aquired my 5th set of wheels, 1 set track day, 2 sets summer, 2 sets winter. Running out of storage space. Anyone recommend a decent tree that will support a set of 18" Speedlines? All the ones I can find seem very flimsy.
 
Yes the genuine articles, heavy and expensive. On Cup 2's for another Scottish trip with softened arbs and shocks. Going in for a/c evaporator next week and the tank is full. My a/c man is quiet at the moment unsurprisingly so we will work on it together. He's done one before and has a sister car, same colour, same month of manufacture, so I trust him.
 
We don't bother with tyre trees in Finland. We just stack the tyres/rims one on top of another in a shed or garage on top of a large square of wood. The 'tyre hotels' such as Vianor do the same on a pallet. As long as they're protected from light (I use a tyre bag) and below-zero temperatures, they'll be fine.

I don't know anyone with a tyre tree, and I had to Google it.
 
Kiitos, I will do that. :)
 
I have to agree with MaxA. I have close to a dozen sets of alloys/alloys & tyres and they are all stacked. I place two wooden battons on the floor and stack accordingly. Keeping them off the floor gives the wheel air circulation and offers a soft support.
I have a couple of sets in Richbrook Wheel Bags but really only necessary for new or freshly refurbished rims. :thumb:
