id put cloth around them, then rap them in plastic.

Keep out of light. Deflate partially.

Whats the point of deflating the tire? Isnt it going to lose pressure anyway?

I would definitely recommend using cloth to separate the wheels if you stack them but, I wouldn't recommend shrink wrapping them. That might trap moisture inside the shrink wrapping which could stain or cause corrosion.

Thats why the Cloth is covering the wheels good before the rap. As long as he does it right there soundnt be corrosion. I have 2 sets of wheels in my garage one of them as been there for 6-7 month still no corrosion. But then again I live in a very very dry place. That helps im sure.

Don't ge me wrong. I'm not saying that the wheels will definitely corrode or get stained if wrapped in plastic. I just wouldn't want to risk it. I live in a dry place too so, it probably wouldn't be an issue here either but, I work for a wheel and tire distributor and I've seen a lot of unexplainable things happen to wheels.

So the tires should be deflated.. whats the purpose for this just curious? Currently mine are sitting in my basement with the air still in them.
