Yip store them on their sides because over the 6+ months or so they are sitting there they lose pressure and if they are upright they will square off (doubtful its permanent damage but an inconvenience all the same). I keep all my wheels in a dark corner in the basement, every couple months I will check the tyre pressures and top them back up to 40 psi, as if you leave them too long and the pressure drops really low the seal can break where the tyre meets rim and you'll be losing air there and probably need it resealed.
