Another? I agree with the sentiment though because if there's one thing I hate only marginally less than SEC football fans it's Big Ten football fans and especially fans of THE Ohio State.

They lost to auburn in the national championship in 2011 or 2012 I can't remember

Urban Meyer is a gifted coach. He did wonders at FL, even if he allowed players to act like semi-Gods but he got wins which decided his career path.

I hated FSU b/c of their rapist of a QB but I'd like to see the Ducks win too. So basically, I'm a happy camper at this point.

Are you a Gator? My wife is and would agree!

Sports ball! Go <local team>!

Yes, wife got her PhD there and I got my MBA from UF. Loved the school, worked there for 2 years as well.

She loves the school too. She's a second generation Gator too, her mother and father met @ UF when they were in school.

I'd never watched college football till I met her. Now I'm stuck watching it all the time, but she's stuck watching F-1. So it's all fair... :unsure:

:lol:

I may do that if I cannot convince the wife I need some racks for the storage unit :lol:

Currently I have them stacked with cardboard in between.

Was looking at these for my storage unit just now -

Looks like it will hold 2 1/2 sets so id be set with 2 or 3 of them, might pick some of those up when I get a garage I can put them in.

Should I let air out of the tires or just leave them inflated at what they come off the car as?

We have a few of these at work not being used, so I might try to convince my boss I need them more then the sales office does :lol:

A. Don't own a plethora of wheels you aren't going to use (see Webster definition: hoard)

B. You can rest them on their faces if you don't slam them down, they'll be just fine.

1. If they have tires on them, the faces will likely not touch anyways unless you're stretching tire.

C. Deflate the tires to just above atmospheric pressure in order to keep unnecessary load off the rubber to prevent the material from stretching (speeding up dry rotting), while maintaining enough internal pressure on the bead (5psi should be enough).

Its really only 3-4 sets and 1 will always be on my car.

Want to run comets for daily wheels, ill do the porpus for some events till I find them in 18", and idk what im going to do with the pegs :lol:

The other sets are just there and will likely be sold soon. Just some canistos and extra set of porpus for when I was going to put them on the wifes old c70.

I'll likely have 5 or 6 sets by monday depending on whats on the volvo we have coming in...

Eventually ill buy a non oem set of wheels.

Thank you for the advice though, I do appreciate it since I have no knowledge on storing wheels with tires, only ever had what ever set of wheels was on my car at the time.
