I have heard of the index card method, but didn't like it because... well... the card is straight and the tire curves. And I wanted a way to protect the tires that was a little more "stable" then just some stuck in cards. This way I could leave them outside, not worrying about if they moved or came out, etc.

And I suppose the towel/rag would work, but might as well use disposable garbage bags for a lower cost!

Edit: And yes, I already watch Jericho... GREAT series.

Edit #2: And as for my center caps... I didn't know HOW to go about painting those while still having them look nice (they aren't colored). So I opted to just run my wheels without, that way I don't have to paint them. Weight reduction
