Default how many wheels are in the US?

just curiuos about how many sets of 16'' jdm bbs wheels are in the US.
i have heard something like 20 sets.
anyone have a clue or a rough estimate?
10 sets? 20 sets? super duper count on one hand rare? pfft, theres plenty? dime a dozen? so common my uncle has a set that hes using to prop up his beer table?

my search(whoa! did i really do that?) showed that they were roughly $2k new as an option in japan so most buyers just took "regular" stokers and went aftermarket rims. this made them sorta rare in japan.

That sounds about right (less than 20). There is an old GB thread around here somewhere. That is where most of them got into the country.
