Easiest and cheapest way is to put a rubber coated hook up in the ceiling and heng them from there. Doesn't hurt the wheels or bike at all. It also work at the top of a wall too!
In My experience, the rubber coated hooks do hurt the wheels but the only bike I did this to was an older mtb. I preffer the two arms coming from the wall and holding the frame. Works like a charm.
I usually take the more 'cost effective' (cheap) route and piece it together using small pulleys and a thing of rope from lowes. Its super easy to lower and raise, and if you play with it right you can pull the bike virtually flat against the ceiling.

I have my bike hanging from rubber coated hooks, and I was actually worried about this. Did it stretch out the spokes?

If you go the screw hook
If you go the screw hook route, meaning you will be anchoring to the ceiling, you may want to consider a rope and pulley system ( https://www.motorpartscentral.com/ProductModelDetail.cfm?ProductModelId=... ).
