Wheel/Tyre Care

Being unaccustomed to having a pile of wheels in the garden (although not as unaccustomed as SWMBO Rolling Eyes), are they ok just left in the garden? Should the rubber be off the ground? I'm planning on leaving them there until I sell the car in 18 months.......... Please don't let SWMBO know that though Shocked Disco 5 HSE Lux

I think they'll be OK in the wet, it's more the sun and lack of movement that may deteriorate them. I'll be storing my spares in the 'coal shed' we have (which of course no longer houses coal...)

Does anyone have a spare wheel trolley (a la F1 style type of thing?) that they want to get rid of? Bodsys Brake Bible

I would be careful they don't root - I'm no bottantist, but rubber plants might start out this way. Laughing D3 HSE V8...

I'm not an expert, but couldn't you sell the car a bit earlier, fully assembled?
