Short answer: Store them off the ground in a dry, secure cage, bin or pallet, stacked flat and stable with the tyres and weights already removed, keep different grades in separate containers and avoid piling them high, because wet or muddy wheels weigh more but are priced as less, loose stacks are a safety hazard and open storage invites theft.

A covered, lockable cage protects the wheels from weather and theft.
Stack for safety
Flat stacks on pallets are stable, whereas tall loose piles can topple and cause injuries.
Keep grades apart
Separate containers for each grade mean no sorting at the point of sale.
