Similar question for me - I've just picked up a spare set of wheels/tires for track (& stop chewing up my road tires).
What's the preferred storage (I have them in a garage, normal humidity, doesn't freeze inside the garage even though not heated).
Do I:
a. Stack vertically laying on their sides forming a cylinder?
b. Build a rack to hold them standing upright, as on the road, with 3-4 bars as contact points to spread the load?
c. other?
The wheels/tires will get used 4-6 times a year for track days, sit the rest of the time.

Pressure? leave them at normal psi? deflate a little? fill with argon (ok, kidding on that one). Any thoughts welcomed...
