You got me beat.
I do have multiple sets of wheels though.
I have the AFS Grand Sport wheels on my '95, the originals are stored away.
I have Weld wheels all the way around on my '93, the originals are stored.
Then I have two sawblades with drag radials and two C5 wagon wheels with drag radials and two spare sawblade wheels.
When I had my truck, I had three sets of wheels for that and three sets of wheels for my Dodge.
But now I'm down to just the vette wheels since I sold my truck and my MOPAR.

I have some polished AFS Grand Sports on mine right now... with a set of polished sawblades awaiting race rubber... the stock CE wheels are stored away, and a set of saw blades for the drag radials.
The true test of obsession came when I made the conscious choice to tell my wife that the azz end of the vette was prettier than hers since it didn't have any dents in it. Knowing full well I'd have to sleep in the car for the weekend. Best rest I ever got

Just damn! I only have two sets of wheels - the Gun Metal ZR1s on it now and the original sawblades waiting for refinishing (yet another project). A full set of Kumho 712s and two Bridgestone 730s ready to be burned off at some point.

I'm glad to see there are people out there sicker than me. I have four 17x9.5 chrome ZR1 replicas with 275/40-17 tires and two 18x9.5 Z06 replicas (no tires). I also have two 265/35-20's for my Cadillac STS.

FYI, I'll admit, I am doing this on the cheap. For instance 84-87 rims run what, 25$. So keep that and my race tires are all used in mind, but still its absurd!
I am glad to see there others out there like me though!

Ive got the set of four 9.5 inch wheels that came on the car when I bought it and the 9.5/ 11 inch chrome GS combo thats on it now.... keeping the others case I ever need a spare...
I left tires on two rims so I dont ever have to run with one 11 and one 9.5 out back 
the other 2 will get DRs mounted on them eventually
