Wheel dollies, Tire Skates.... recommendations?
 
I just put a 15 x 14 addition behind the garage to be a workshop/Nova parts storage area (once I find some more Novas for parts or collections of Nova parts!). Anyway, that'll free up some space in the back 1/3 of my somewhat deep 2-car wide garage.

With that back area of the garage cleared out, it looks like I can put a car (Nova or Corvette) on those wheel dolly/tire skate thingys that I've seen, rotate it sideways, and snug it up against the back wall of the garage and still fit two cars in the stalls.

With all that said, what are your recommendatios for the types of tire skates to avoid and to buy? I don't want to just buy any ol' set, get a car on them, and find out that I made a bad decision and can't hardly move the car.

What do you have or use?

Thanks for your help!

Those are awsum and expensive...if you use them on tires that are wider than the roller they bend believe it or not...I you dont mind jacking the car up just get a set of cheaper ones...if you want to jack and roll these are the best

Thanks for the suggestion so far. After posting, I've been trying to research it a little.

Does anyone have any experience/opinions with these linked below?

I like the idea of Made-in-the-USA and five year warranty.

I have a set...they work fine on concrete floors without expansion joints, or narrow gap joints. They WILL tear up vinyl floor tiles!

Allen..I bought a set of the 6000# ones. The wheels are too small, in my opinion. Not very easy to move the car when it is on the dollys.

i got a set from a local shop (greg smith equipment indianapolis), they fit a 12" slick and roll over expansion joints pretty well.
