Default So Who Actually Owns/Has Gone Thru The Most Rims?

Just for ****s and giggles, would be kind of cool to know if anyone is more fickle minded than me.

The winner of the contest gets a shiny penny and a ticket to the psych ward

Lets keep this to Porsche cars only.

On my 996 I Have/Had:

1) Stock 18" Solid Turbotwists (Sold)
2) 9ff DTM Wheels (Still have)
3) 19" BBS Mesh Wheel Knockoffs (Sold)
4) Victor Equipment Lemans 19"s In Black (Currently On Car)

That brings me up to 4 sets in less than 2 or so years, plus the current set of hollows I'm looking for. Plus 2 Sets of rims for my other car.

And I thought women were bad with shoes.

Finally a contest I have a chance of winning. Here are the wheels I have for my 1999 turned 2004 996.

1) 18 turbo twists – still have – now track tires for GF’s Cayman S
2) Kinesis K28s – sold
3) BBS magnesium 3 piece racing wheels – sold
4) Milli Miglia 18 inch turbo knockoffs (rain tires) – destroyed in crash
5) Replacement milli maglia 18 inch turbo twist knockoffs - sold
6) Jongebloed 3 piece magnesium racing wheels (set 1) – still have
7) Jongebloed 3 piece magnesium racing wheels (set 2) – still have
8) BBS 1 piece forged magnesium racing wheels – still have

Also taking up space in the garage are two extra sets of BBS racing wheels for the cup car and an extra set of 18 inch wheels and winter tires for the tow truck. Oh and a set of wheels and snow tires for my GF’s Jag.

Is their a prize for most stupidly expensive wheels?

225/40/19 front (tiny stretch..bearly noticable)

275/30/19...big stretch...euro ricers love it..i don't but i had just bought these tires for another set of rims (i couldn't use that set because another PCA member sold me rims that wouldn't fit my car) and my supplier wouldn't take em back...so once these wear out i'll run a proper size wheel..untill then i'll just pose with the VW crowd
