I hang my models from the ceiling nose up, the flats come out after a short while, in future rotate wheels once or twice a week or as often as possible or rig up a way of keeping them off the ground maybe likkle axle stands :D

Just had a thought about same diameter half circle type cups from old plastic containers to sit the wheels in?

Many foams will bounce back to their former shape if you put them in very, very hot water (almost scalding). The heat makes it pliable, and collapsed cells expand as the air inside expands with heat. Boil water in the microwave and try dipping them into the hot water.
