Default Rolling wheel rack recommendations

I am looking for suggestions for a rolling wheel rack for my trailer Something that can accommodate 8 or 16 wheels. Prefer a rack that has large, soft wheels to make it over trailer gate and other bumps I have seen teams using these at bigger races but don't know where to find one. The only one I found in my search here on RL is:

My concern with the one in the link above is the second tier looks really high making it top heavy.

Thank you in advance.

pitboxes.com has some nice set ups that is where I got mine. Holds about 5 or 6 each shelf depending on tire width.

I built my own out of 1in steel tube and 8in pneumatic casters, but it only holds 8, 4 up, 4 down.

Sorry to bring this thread back from semi-dead, but wanted to share...built my own rolling rack last weekend based mainly on Pmason's photo. Thanks for the inspiration!
