Wheeleez are aluminum frames so you should not have rust issues, although I see corrosion on aluminum SUP paddles that eventually lead to a weak point causing them to snap.

A wise gentleman once told me" if you can, take them back to your vehicle" but if you want to store them on the PA here's a simple way to carry them onboard.

thanks guys.
i figured its better for the wheels to leave them in the car but i fish solo sometimes and it's difficult to go back-and-forth every time.

When I have to take the wheels with me, I just put them in the front hatch on either of my Malibu's. Some times you have to take off one or both wheel from the frame, but that is so easy with just pulling a pin. I have lots of storage space inside the Yak.
