Default Storing Cheese

We are about to buy a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano and a smaller wheel of Peccorino (Black Pearl).

My question is what is the best way to store large pieces of cheese. I have a Dutch friend who buys whole wheels of aged Gouda, and he vacuum seals the pieces and stores them in the freezer. He cuts it into 5 chunks and individually seals them. Costco sells the vacuum kits for about $125.

Any ideas?

Also, if anybody wants a chunk of cheese, let me know. I will mail it to you.
