We have a lot of wheels on hand, some ready to go, others needing bearings or truing, and still others piled up. We hang some from ceiling using hooks, and have tried a rack to hold them. The problem comes when people just set wheels on the floor in front of the rack, or pile them in. We need to find an efficient way to store them. I'm leaning towards more hooks, but wonder what others do to manage wheel inventory.
Jack,
We have a system for storing wheels that utilizes pipe and a bent spoke. The top part is latched around the pipe and the bottom part hooks around the rims. With this system you can slide the wheels to better view them. Also, it also is pretty cost effective with essentially free spokes and low cost black iron pipe or conduit.

I like the recycling of spokes, plus the little detail of keeping the nipple attached to avoid scratches. Well done, we'll give this a try!

We use 2x4s and storage hooks. I brought hundreds of them with me when I came to 3wbs. The 2x4s are suspended from the ceiling rafters with loops of bike chain. Some units are spaced for front wheels; some for rear wheels. The spoke "hooks" and pipe are a good way, but I feel that this way is more secure.
