Back in the 90's I was on a run of Dodge "K" cars and my sister was wrecking/ crashing Neons at the time. I want  to say we had maybe 16 sets of 5x100 15inch wheels at one point.

 

My sister helped to thin the heard. Ugh.

I love those old Enkeis.  Had a set on my e30 years ago. 

Love it. I would have bought the gold had I purchased new to complete the poor man's lotus look. I came across mine on a can't-refuse secondhand price, but I have to admit the silver has grown on me.

Maybe the more GRM question is how many sets of wheels do you own that don't fit any vehicles in your possession?

Yeah, that's definitely a more GRM question. 

I'm light in that department too.  I only have one instead of a set, but it's a good one.  Testarossa rim I use for "interior design". 

I'm pretty light on wheels too. Other than the stock daisies off the Miata, I just have a pair of Saab Inca wheels that I've been hanging onto since 2003.

Minimum 2 sets for every car, stock for summer and cheap aftermarket for winter. We have 2 cars and 5 sets of wheels, the extra being track wheels for the WRX.

Oddly no, most of my cars only have the wheels they're sitting on.  I had two extra sets of wheels for my TDI, but after selling the parts car wheels to Nonack, one of those sets (worn out snows on steel wheels) went on that. Now I just have the OE 15" wheels and a set of BBS Wolfsburg Edition 16" wheels.  

Other than that, I have a set of 13" Panasports for the Triumphs, but with "For Racing Only" engraved on the lips, I don't know if I'll ever mount street tires on them.  Some day in the future they may get R-comps for autocross. Maybe... But I paid so little for them ($200 for all 4 - a steal) I don't mind them sitting.  And I have a set of snow tires/wheels for the R53.

Yes....I have a set of 4x108 Panasports. I have never owned a car with a 4x108 bolt pattern either. They were cheap, so I bought them.

For the two racecars that take the same bolt pattern and size wheels.

14 Bundts

7 CLK Lightweights

4 190E 15holes

8 17" tirerack 5spokes

Two sets for the Abomination. 

Two sets for the G35. 

One set for a car I haven't owned in 6-8 years. Impala SS wheels I bought for the Roadmonster. Make me an offer and they can be yours.

I'm weak by these standards. 3 sets for Sonoma (summers, winters, and sawblades currently without a seasonal purpose). 2.5 sets for MonZora (street, autocross, drag rears), 2 sets each for E60 and Ody (summers, winters).

Let's see. I have 3 sets for the Cougar, 2 sets for the Focus, only 1 set for the Escort, 2 sets for the Lincoln. Then I have 2.5 sets that *should* fit the Probe, but only with low-profile tires and not the taller tires currently on them, so I can't actually prove that they fit. I really need a tire-mounting machine.
