Which Wheel Bags

I am after some waterproof wheel bags. Uses are twofold:

For winter wheels to be kept inside (so water doesn't leak out the bag)

In case I need to leave wheels outside (I have a private garden but no shed so theft isn't an issue) which won't get ruined in the rain.

Thanks

Edit: Looks like I don't need waterproof ones, just any old ones. Can someone recommend where to get them cheap?

    If you leave a wet wheel inside a waterproof bag for a number of days you can as well throw it in a skip. All the bearings will freeze solid, the pawl springs will jam and the nipples will corrode and seize...

    Useful to know. Looks like I may get away with indoor storage!

    Can anyone recommend any good wheel bags?
    After something cheap and with a bit of padding, but not essential. Looking at CRC but at £17 quid per wheel that could get costly.

    You could just buy off fleabay - wheelbags come up quite often. I've found the mavic single ones to be ideal. I have a double bag but it's very bulky and not sure I see the benefit.
