I mean.... aftermarket cools are usually cooler than OEM wheels. Having a variety of wheels to swap on your cars lets you have snows, all seasons, high performance summers, etc. Plus like, they look awesome! And they're fun to nab deals, trade, sell for profit, etc. Idk. I love having wheels man. If I had more room and more money I'd have so many wheels!

When you make it to the next level you can display just the fans off the race wheels up in the rafters!

HOLY CRAP! That's amazing man! Where did you get all those fans!!??! That is so friggin cool! I'd take you up on the style 5s for the Bavaria I'm building but I'm guessing you're pretty far from Wisco.

I thought rubber was fairly stable unless exposed to UV? What does the wrap do? Keeps 'oils' in the tires? I noticed the bases with casters as well. Are those off the shelf or are you cutting some plywood and mounting casters or?

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).

Don't let your dreams be dreams. Actually, if you're fine with incomplete sets, there are massive deals to be had, and once you get a complete set, they can be worth $$$. I've seen singles and pairs of wheels for $100-200 that would be $1500+ if you had all 4.
