I'm not doing too bad right now, only two extra sets in the garage and they both fit cars I currently own. I guess there is also the set of unmounted R7s....and I might still have some 5x4.75 in the shed, which fit nothing...and whatever happened to the two extra sets I had for my E36? Are they still at my parents' somewhere? I don't recall selling them...
I have several sets of extra wheels in 4x100, but they'll fit four of our vehicles. I do have a set of 4x108 Panasports that I bought on a whim. I've never had a vehicle with a 4x108 bolt circle.
Sold the car I originally bought these for about 5 years ago, why do I still own them? I occasionally put them on CL knowing eventually someone local will desperately NEED them. ahahaha
Used pair of 5 on 5" lug pattern "WK" code Buick Rally wheels with 3 7/8" backspacing and 2" center cap holes. No rust on the front chrome and the lug holes are good. I had the front chrome covered in wax without buffing it off and kept them in storage 25+ years. Sold the car I'd originally bought them for years ago and I'm cleaning out my stash of old car parts. Aug 16 '78 and March 20 '78 date codes if it matters to you. Lugs and center caps not included.

Wheels are just one of the parts I have for cars I don't own. A buddy and I used to make an annual trip to a large swap meet where (according to my wife) we spent money we didn't have on parts we didn't need for cars we didn't own.
I have a set of wheels for a truck I own that I'll never put on it because they're ugly as E36 M3, does that count?
Possibly going to end up with wheels off a fire truck in the near future
I have a cool set old Sprint-Hart CP-Fs in 15x6.5 4x114.3 that I imported from Malaysia and refinished and had on my Acura Legend. Sold the car, kept the wheels to sell separately. Haven't had any luck selling them, they don't fit anything I own, so they lurk in my cellar.
In reply to NickD :
Those would look good on my 323 GTX but do I need a third set of wheels for it?
I'm glad I only have one complete set of wheels. They were on the now totaled impala. So I have a set of 18" SS wheels. The only other wheels have are some weld draglites for a 4lug mustang and a set of lightweight Bogart drag in Star 3's, but those will fit my ranger project just fine.
This thread is helping me remember stuff I had forgotten about. I have a set of 15x10 steel wheels for a Ford Ranger. I bought them for possible Challenge use and shortly afterwards I changed plans and have no need for them. Don't show this thread to my wife.
I have a 16x8 8 lug rim I bought for my Cummins to be a spare which was sold years ago.
However, I now have an E-350 with the same 8 lug bolt pattern... but the van already has a spare, so the rim is superfluous... so yes and no?
Do tires count? I have a 16" tire for my old minivan my mechanic gave me because it was still good when I had them replace the tires some years ago. The current minivan can only fit 17" wheels. I need to take a sawzall to it so I can get it into the trash...

My brother is looking for some wheels for his Audi 90, still have my number?
In reply to russde :
Same. Trying to sell them and no one is biting.
At one point I owned 13 of these identical Jeep Wrangler wheels. I sold 3 at this year's Challenge, so now I'm down to 10. 1 set for street, 1 set for autocross, and a pair with drag radials. They're 15x8, dirt cheap, and 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
I've never even driven a Jeep.
I have a set of 13 x skinny 5-on-4" wheels for my Valiant, which I still own, but which now uses 5-on-4.5" wheels all around. Does that count?
I have 8 wheels in my garage that are not on a car, but both sets are for cars that I currently own. I have in the past had wheels for a car that I no longer owned. I have yet to buy wheels for a car that I plan to buy in the future though.

Yes, yes you do. My cellar has spoken. They do need a repaint because the paint that I paid a body shop to spray didn't stick great. But I even have a complete set of decals for them, which God knows where you would find those.
I had to go look in the garage to confirm, but all my extra wheels fit on cars that I own. There is a single exception, but it is just 1 single wheel without a tire. Anybody want a 15" Camry wheel?
I did have a set of wheels for the TSX that I sold, but I traded those to my brother for my dads old camera.

Rochester, NH.
I have the original acr springs somewhere where also, good condition.
If anyone is coming south from there, i want them.
I don't think ill be getting that far northeast anytime soon.
Wheels, engines, transmission, differential, doors and glass, knuckles, brakes, interior parts...
Not only do they not go to vehicles I own, they don't go with each other, either.

In reply to frenchyd :
I've got some of these wheels also, I'm working on getting them mounted to a car I'm building. If you have any detailed pics or information of the mounting hub and spinner used I would really appreciate it.

A set of Troutman & Barnes pin drive knock offs for the Riverside special. ( Chaparral)
I have a set of 2001 Mustang GT wheels with Kumho V700 tires and a set of Thunderbird turbo wheels. These have been gathering dust for 15 years, does anyone need them?
I have a set a MK1 MR2 alloys in my barn. They are so 80s looking they are great. I was thinking of re finishing them and putting them up for sale. That was 20 years ago so maybe just wash them and sell them? The problem is they are somewhere in my stacks of Porsche wheels. I would have to go find them.
