I have a new set of Billboards inside my garage, in the darkest coolest corner, waiting for my build to be completed to roll. Whats the best way to preserve them? Wrap them up in air tight plastic shrink wrap? Should I wait as long as possible to mount them to wheels and air them up? I'd like to be able to roll the car around on tire dollies while continuing the build. maybe I should get a set a junk wheels/tires for that purpose...

I would sell them immediately. Time is not their (the Billboards) friend. Buy a set later, when you're ready roll, but at your own peril.

I agree with RodKnock. No shelf life. Sell them to someone that can make use of them now and get yourself a set of junkers to roll around during the build. I have a set of BFG's just for that purpose!
