There are wheel covers that would be ok to use and then store for extra protection. I am assuming that you will be removing the wheels from the bike.
Also, depends how near the home is to the ocean.
Also, tri bikes have specific wheelsets and costly.
Your whole post is wrong excepting the brass nipple part but it doesn't really matter for storage. Hanging the bike from the wheels will do absolutely no harm. 'Pair of wheel sets'? What? Hanging a bike will not harm, add or remove any spoke tension. It's much less stress than actually riding the bike. Tri bikes don't necessarily have 'specific' wheels. They might, they might not. They might be expensive, they might not be.
