Vehicle/wheel dolly recommendation?
To save wear and tear on my clutch I'd like to get a set of wheel dollies that make it easy to move my car around the garage, push it out, put it away, etc., preferably by myself. Does anybody have suggestions of brands/types to look at or stay away from? My only requirements are that it be fairly easy to move the car so that I can do it alone (can't count on guilting people into helping me all the time!), and ideally I'd like to be able to leave the car on the dollies for extended periods without hurting the tires.
The car has air jacks, so the wheel dollies with the built-in hydraulic jack are not essential (though I'd certainly consider them is someone says they're worth it).
Thanks!!

Here is a start.. my brother uses them on his Hot-Rod trucks so I would imagine a car with 1/2 the weight should roll pretty easily.

Get a set of Go-Jaks and be done with it. I have a set at home and also use them in the dealerships where I work. They are the most used in pro setings for a reason they are good and they work well.

Wheel dollies
FWIW - I'd pass on the wheel dollies, particularly if your car is low to the ground (I can't use them on my GT-2 or GT-3, let alone the race cars (thanks goodness for air jacks as has been mentioned), and they don't work that well on race deck flooring. Mine were from Griot's and I am happy to unload them if anyone else has a use.
