I'm looking to build/make a wall hanging wheel storage rack to get some of my extra wheels off the floor. I have a space about 2 feet wide and floor to ceiling clear to work with. Ideally would hold 3 sets (6 wheels). I would love to see some example photos of what people have done.

Simple hooks work great. I have a tall garage ceiling and I mounted hooks in the wall above the hooks I hang my bikes from. I've got a handful of deep ones that can handle a deep rim, as well as MTB wheels. These are the vinyl / rubber coated hooks from the hardware store for about $2 each. I've got a broomstick with a smaller hook I use to put them up and take them down... $10 total to store a couple grand in wheels...

not the cheapest suggestion there is- but you could get a vertical slatwall, along with slatwall wheel holders. They hold two wheels each, by their skewer. 7 wheels being stored in the pic- another 3 could be stored.
