A couple of my roommates and I race tri together and store bikes for other friends so we have some spares lying around. After just leaning them for a while one guy finally got this floor-to-ceiling rack that has a few hooks coming out to hang wheels. It's pretty unobtrusive and might look Ok in your place. I can get pics in a bit.

in an old appartment we drilled a couple of holes in the walls into the studs and jammed some 9mm steel rod right into the hole. Mounted the wheel through the hub where the skewer went. Hardest part was cutting the rod without bending it. But that stuff is cheap, so it wasn't a big deal to have to make a few trial runs. Angle your holes down just a smidge so the wheels don't slide off once it is loaded. You need a pretty long 11/32 drill bit. Put a light coating of oil on the steel so it doesn't rust. I put a bit of gorilla glue on the end we stuck in the wall, but it probably wasn't necessary.

Worked fine. Looked surprisingly good. But required a bit of work to fix it when moving out.

Good luck
Andy

how's this?

Back of the closets? Behind washer and drier? On top of the drier, or washer too if it's front loading. On top of the hot water heater?

I used all those places when I lived in an apartment. Do you have a balcony? Can store wheels there too, in large plastic bags to keep the rain off.

Maybe something like this?

Some ideas here.

Different approaches might work best for different problems.

How many wheels or wheelsets are we talking about here?

Do you have a decent amount of free wall space?
