I wanted to share a number of racks that I made because I have tons of wheels and hanging them saved a lot more space.

A few days ago I welded one up with left of pipe from other projects. Here you see I was trying to test fit a wheel.

The end result. Welding brackets and painted it a hammered color and mount some 15 inch wheels. It could a 14inch all the way up to 16 with no issues. It can hold bout 6 wheels.

I wanted to try a different tire rack and I still have many tires to get off the ground so I decided to use 2x4x8. I have left over pipe and used it to adjust sizing of wheels. It can actually just fit a rim with no tire with the pipe installed and snug fit for 16 inch wheels. I used 2 ft chain on both sides at 50 cents per ft. It costed under $15 to build and hold 10 wheels. Sorry that I only have half of the picture for now.

This here is one of my first racks that I built and still use. It hold just the rims for when I prep for powdercoating. The wheels you see there are recently powdercoated white with gloss clear over it

I have another similar version that hold rims with tire mounted and they are both 5 ft long so they can hold 7 to 8 wheels :bowdown:

Those tire racks are the deal!!!

I had to put some big mud tires under my bench one time. Tires, wheels, rims take space and you can't trip over them but so many times. Now when you don't need your racks for wheels, you can hang to paint from them too.

Great job!!!:thumbup:
