Got my 214 wheels and tires today - question: how do you carry/handle/store them?

Ok. So the 4 wheels with tires were dropped off by UPS today. They are heavy as f@#$.!!! The UPS label said they were 82 lb a piece, not sure which one (front or back) was the one they weighed first.
I had the wheels and tires dropped off at work since I live in a condo. The seller did a good job packing them using glass-packing flat boxes to fold and cover the entire wheel & tire for each box. Here comes the hard part: I almost blew a testicle or a hemroid picking each of them up and put it behind my x5 to take them home! I felt the loading dock guys were laughing at me wearing suit pants and dress shirt while doing so.
Either I am getting old or getting weak. My wife weighs only 98 lbs, I remember carrying her across the threshold years ago without any problem but today I almost couldn't pick up the rear wheel/tire...
For those of you who own two sets of wheels, do you change them on and off yourself? they just seem soooooooo heavy! And how do you store them so they don't get scratched? I saw BMW sell this tote cover, also this felt cover for the wheels. are they convenient? I have to put them in my storage spot in the condo, can't just lay them around like when we owned a house with a garage before. The garage with the condo are just parking spots.
