I currently have

10x4.5 Inno Rostyles
10x5 Mambas
10x5 Cosmics
10x5 Dunlop d1s
10x4.5 reverse rims
10x6 Wellers
10x6 Motorsport Wellers
10x6 Weller Smoothies
10x6 Ultralights
10x6 Revos
10x4 Standard Steels
10x5 ATS Classics
10x5 Momos
10x4.5 Avon Safety Wheels

I would still look some mini special wheels, GT rostyles and some MB split rims and a few other more unusual wheels. It's really quite a problem ha

I'll admit to having a little bit of a wheel hoarding problem. Hell my project thread is called "I only wanted the wheels" haha
 
​Most are complete sets, some I have more than 1 set of, and some are odds and sods.

I have to stop myself buying wheels and then looking for a car to fit them on. So many nice wheels come up for sale that I get tempted to just put into stock incase I buy another car that they'll fit, mainly old japanese stuff though.

Mini wise I've only got a set of 10x6 wellers that are currently fitted but my new ones are on the boat from Japan at the minute, 10x6 SSR MK2's, my favourite wheels.

I have 2 sets of 12" steelies for my Mini, I gave my 12" superlights to my nephew for his birthday for his Mini...

 

My daily driver has mainly 17" alloys but Iv also got a set of 5 x Vectra GSi alloys, Astra Coupe SE2 17" alloys, a set of 16" steelies for winter and a set of 19" Snowflake alloys for it too...

 

My daily driver is a Vauxhall Omega 2.5 V6 (235) which is twice the size and weight of my Mini, but the Mini gives me may more smiles....

I thought I'd had a few but nothing compared to some of these collections! Sold them all off as I have my perfect 10" mini lights now And my mum was getting close to throwing them all out
Also have a set of KN Jupiter wheels I will never sell as I love them. I do regret selling my compomotive wheels.

My other thing is seats. I fall in love with the seats, use them for a month or so then sell them!
