I used self-tapping screws (pre-drilled the holes with a slightly smaller bit) and hung the hangers on the wall in line with where the heavy metal supports (studs ?) are in the wall.  I then bolted aluminum angle-iron (Hmm, what do you call angle iron when it is made from Al? ) to the cieling supports.  I fastened the shelves to the aluminum angle using little U-bolts that were intended to be used as cable/wire clamps.

I got the containers the right size so that i have to slide them in diagonally and then straighten.  The lip keeps them from sliding out and they are too wide to come out between the aluminum angle without being turned diagonally.  I have done wire shelves before in a trailer and I made drop-down doors to keep things in, but this is much easier.

The helmets I like to keep in the open so they can air out.  It is a little bit of a pain to have to strap them to the shelf, but it works well.

Here is a closer picture of the hardware I used to finish them last night.
