tire/wheel bag reco anyone?

So i finally pulled the trigger and ordered some OZ racing 17" Allegeritas shod with Hankook 205/45 Ventus shoes...from Tirerack of course. I want to preserve the OEM GP wheels and RFT Dunlops in storage. I know I've seen vinyl or nylon tire bags to store wheelsets with but I'll be danged if I can find them now. Anyone have a suggestion or a link or just a nudge in the right direction?

THX

Here is a link to the Tire Tote at Tirerack. Tire Totes are also available at other vendors.

Any MINI dealership has MINI Tire Totes for $22 as well.

thx, but now the urgency is off a bit...even the TR site said put 'em in baggies and THEN the totes, which leads me to believe the totes are more for carry convenience than anything else. The bad news was the FAQ saying that they should be kept in a temp controlled location, which I don't have...have to work that one out.
