How do you store seasonal tires when not using them?

I'm currently awaiting delivery of a second set of stock 19s. Mine were curb rashed when I bought my car, and got a bit more curb rashed over the winter (long story). So I bought this second set for summer use, and I'm going to mount Blizzak's or other winter tires on my original scratched up 19s.

My question is: how do you guys store your winter wheels/tires in the summer? And how do you store your summer wheels/tires in the winter?

I really like the idea of a wheeled stand that stacks all 4 on top of each other, leaving a few inches between each one so they don't rest of the rubber. Like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tire-...ht_1246wt_1061
Anyone have a rack like that?

Here is another storage option I found, but I want to hear what some of you guys do with yours.

You canjust stack the four ontop of each other with no ill effec
Effects. And befor anyone wants to argue I worked for Michelin for five years and it is acceptable to stack up to eight tires (depending on size) for long term storage.

^1. Good to know! If I stack them on top of each other, do you recommend tire felts inbetween each one? Or a piece of cardboard or something under the bottom one? Unfortunately, a boring stack of tires just doesn't look as clean and impressive as having them stacked on a metal rolling cart... Decisions, decisions...
