Race Wheel Transport /Storage Bags
Wheel Storage / Transport Cases.

I got these new heavy duty Nylon padded & insulated tire cases to get rid of the trash bags I was using to store my expensive race wheels.

Nice features are the built in handles on top, rubber feet to keep them rolling away, and the zip up case design to preserve the rubber from ozone and UV.

I thought snow belters might be interested for using with thier summer wheel set. They can also be used as tire warmers for autocross, from Blackwatch Racing.

I got mine directly from Blackwatch Racing but they're not selling on-line 'till next month. Chasecam.com & soloperformance.com have them. They're around $56ea for stock size tires. Feels really durable and should last a long time.

There are other cheaper(?) ones out there, but they don't protect the wheels or seal completely. I figure it's a good investment since rims/tires can cost $1,200 - $3,200, and I'll probably use them for cars in the future. The cases are built the same as heavy duty luggage, which cost more.

What size tires do you use? I have used the bags for 235s and up to 275 -17s. I think there are 2 size bags and I've seen minis and vettes use them.
