[Shop-talk] Tire storage

[DAVID MASSEY]

<< WRT the impact: ordered the Dewalt DCF-900. It says it's rated for 1400 pounds, I think. I guess if the lug nuts don't spin, it just twists off the lug stud itself. I guess either way the wheel's << coming off.
This comment reminded me of a comment from a friend of mine (in the Austin Healey club - obligatory LBC content) who said he twisted of a couple wheel studs on a 50's or 60' Chrysler product before he realized that the studs on the LH side of the car were LH thread.
Jus' sayin'.

 I forgot how much I enjoyed reading the list. So here's another one:
I used to have Griots Garage wheel storage 'poles'--they bolt to the wall/stud and stick out perpendicularly and you hang your wheels on them.
I don't see them on the Griots website any more. It looks like I'm starting from scratch on wheel storage. 
I've got eight--no, nine--sets of wheels and tires in the garage right now. Opinions on the best way to store them, and why you like them? Right now they're stacked against the wall and on the shelves and I don't like that.
