Ya, Truck Offsets.

The rack is 125.00 made by tire rack. Seems like a pretty good deal.

Damn, you better use the heavy duty drywall anchors to hold all that weight up

I'd be using concrete anchors, but ya, If my walls were drywall, I'd make sure that I put it in the studs. Says the rack can hold 400 pounds.

I haven't pulled the trigger on anything...but those were the best I'd found as well. I've got three sets stacked up in the basement now (Benz, Buick, and Harley (so...really 2 1/2)).

Ya, I think that one is the winner. It'll be nice to get the spare sets out of the way.

one car at a time

I just stack them in a corner....Hanging on the wall looks cleaner if you have the available space and feel comfortable about the mounting...

I have 2 of the racks staggered one on top of the other and can fit about 6 wheels on each. I'm not home otherwise I'd take pics for you. It's a good deal.

That was a joke. That thing would drop like Facebook stock if you used drywall anchors

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway

I built this last year, welded it up with my trusty Lincoln, smoothed, painted, & mounted. Far far stronger than what I could find on-line-was even doing pullups on it. Does not budge.
