What's the best way to store a car without wheels?

I want to sell my wheels to get some cheaper steels or something similar. Was just wondering wether anyone could give me some advice on how to store the car while i'm sorting out the new wheels?

Mine was on a 4 post lift for a couple of weeks so I assume you could just put it on 4 axle stands?

Axel stands won't do it any harm as long as they are in the right place.

Thanks guys. I thought axle stands would be the popular answer, just wanted to make sure!

Here's a pic of the wheels which will be for sale in a couple of weeks if anyone's interested?

They look lovely wheels mate. I don't think you will have much trouble shifting them tbh.

Put it on another set of any old wheels. Safer, easier, no risk of damage.

I'm a bit low on money so am having to use the cash from selling the wheels on there atm to buy some new ones.

Can anyone give an honest estimate on how much they reckon the wheels are worth? looked into this a bit before but didn't really find any useful info!

The make is Intra and they're in good nick, no curbs etc.

They look very nice! Whats the size of them?
Your best off advertising on car forums, Get some good pictures up, Correct spec, tyre info etc, and they will sell if priced correctly,

You can always put them on ebay, You may pay 10% sellers fees but your opening up to a much bigger market,

What are you replacing them with then?

AS above, axle stands… But there's always somebody looking to get rid of a set of scratty steel wheels for peanuts. If you con get hold of a set, do (assuming you've got somewhere you can keep them… that way, if you need to move the car, you can!
