Eh, that might be a small stretch there!
Impressive though, at what I paid for tire mounting / balancing last time, you've got a grand just in mounting tires! Lol
Not sure what that is in your avatar, but it's pretty badazz look'n.
I have had 6 sets of C5 wheels and 9 sets of C4 wheels. Not counting what is on the cars and the 3 sets I sold last fall, I still have 5 sets not on cars.
I also have spare sets for my Impala, truck, and Charger.
I like swapping them and changing the looks. See the thread below for some pictures.

Yea, I do have a ton of floppy discs from the mid 90s...some day when I have nothing better to do I'll go through them. Here's the avatar...it's some sort of badass Ferrari....note the fantastic front end...the rear looks a lot like a C3 vette.

I've swapped exhausts that many time but not wheels. That's a lot of wheels!
I think about swapping exhausts often. Just got my second set of wheels and I have a feeling it won't be my last but I am pretty happy with them except for being much harder to clean than my C6 5 spoke.

It wasn't easy! These were my favorites, but the upkeep and the bent lips, wobbling in the rain, corrosion, and TPS issues forced me out of them. I concluded these 3-piece wheels don't belong in the snowbelt.

Funny you should say that...that is the main reason I've gone back to the basic 5 spoke. I used to spend close to an hour on wheels...no more!

Do you DD your car year round in the snow and salt? I can't even begin to imagine how much of a nightmare the faux rivets are to keep clean on aftermarket wheels!

Plus a 5-spoke is just so classic and timeless! Works in so many applicatoins.
