I'm guessing he may not actually "collect" them. I'm guessing he's had them, had cars that they mounted on, etc..., and just hasn't gotten rid of them.

I could see if you were a car guy with enough money, and went through lots of cars and wheels over the years (maybe have a few cars and take them to the track, maybe have winter wheels, etc...) how you could end up with a bunch of sets of wheels.

I don't know that I want a collection, but I'd love to have a Fuchs, any Fuchs of any size, only one. It's iconic and something that I'd like to have. I would also like to have an old knock off wire wheel from a British roadster. And yeah, an old wide race wheel with a fan would be friggin cool. I could also see myself having one of a few others, they'd go great on the walls of a garage.

So, yeah, I guess I could see myself having a small collection of 5-10 wheels (just one, not sets).
