I was concerned with the quality and strength of this rack to support eight wheels. When it arrived you knew they didn't skimp. The box weighed 99 lbs. The packing was superb, not even a rattle. All welds were spot on, no scratches and everything lined up perfectly. It is made of 1.5" steel tubing. This thing is built. Took me about an hour to set up. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Now I won't have to lug wheels up and down the stairs, from and to the basement, twice a year
Love this rack, I am going to purchase another 3 , one more for tires and wheels, 2 more for Oil change cart, and drain system that is mobile, and one for tire service equipment including 2 large jacks, stands, and spreader bars, as well as a place to mount and store the torquewrenches, impact guns, torque sticks, and TPMS supplies. that way they can be rolled quickly in and out of the shop for outside work. Next we need Tire Rack to provide heavy weatherproof covers for outside storage!
Very sturdy, well built rack. Feels like it will last a lifetime. The reason for a rating of 8 vs 10 is that the black finish on the tubes is very thin. While tightening the bolts, the finish chipped off around the bolts. No big deal but I wish the finish were a little tougher or the area where the bolts engage the tubes was designed differently. In terms of assembly, it was easy to put together and the 5" casters are great. However, I received a shelf that had the brackets welded on the wrong way so it wouldn't fit properly. After a lot of back and forth with Tire Rack and the manufacturer, the issue was finally resolved and 2 weeks later, I finally had the replacement tray shipped to me. Fits perfectly now.
Very sturdy and well built, this rack easily stores two sets of regular car wheels with room to spare. The extension trays and baskets are good for storing wheel nuts and special tools. I would prefer if it was actually a little less wide as there's a lot of wasted space. Also, I'd like to see some kind of safety net under the top rack in case you fumble lifting a heavy wheel onto it!
This is a well built, strong tire rack. Assembly was fast although I replaced the lock nuts supplied with nyloks. I was able to fit the winter tires for my VW Golf and Chevrolet 4x4 Colorado on the rack with room left for maybe 4 more tires, its that big. However if you are considering this keep in mind its large, like the size of a Honda Goldwing large. I went this route as I couldnt see hanging the very large truck tires on a wall hanging device and luckily have the room for this roll around rack. Very nice addition to the garage. Thanks Tire Rack.
The basic frame and casters seem to be high quality materials and finish, but the price is high for that part of the package. I could have fabricated something similar for much less. The add-on shelves and baskets (also high quality materials and finish) are probably where most of the cost comes from, but I have little or no use for these
