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...
I have a similar set up with swapping out for winter wheels/tires on my trucks as well as my track wheels/tires for my Boxster. I stack them via option "a" in your explanation and take the pressures down to 15-20 psi.

I use to fill them with hydrogen but one time I was smoking a cigar while doing this and BOOM... there went the garage...
