One road bike, a Bianchi Sempre Pro, with 4 wheel sets:
2003 Campagnolo Eurus w/25mm conti gp4season for the dirty spring
2004 Campagnolo Nucleon w/Vittoria Corsa CG tubulars for the perfect days
2013 DT Swiss RR 1450 Tricon w/Hutchinson Atom/Fusion 3 tubeless f/r for the Alps
2014 Campagnolo Shamal Ultra 2wf w/Hutchinson Sector 28 tubeless for the gravel

An old banger Cannondale M900 26" MTB. The winter bike. One wheel set with studded Suomi 294

A Cannondale F-Si 29" MTB with one wheel set, Maxxis Ardent Race/Ikon 2.25 tubeless f/r

2 race bikes - I have 1 pair on each. Though when I was racing seriously, I had 2 pairs per bike.

1 x alu rims for bad weather, bad roads and training. Campagnolo Zonda at the moment and Mavic -R-Sys SLR
1 x carbon 50mm deep sections for crit circuits or sometimes road races (1st generation carbon Bora's)...sleeping in my garage, awoken on some occasions!
1 x Mavic Cosmic 1st generation carbon....same situation as Bora's

I still to this day don't trust carbon for their inconsistent stopping power, though are getting much better. I'm positive that's why there are so many crashes these days, especially on a decent.

Two sets per bike.
Tarmac - CLX40 for nice days and HED C2/White Ind for everything else
RLT9 - Med depth carbon for everyday riding and shallow wide hookless rims for tubeless gravel/CX days. Both are LB rims on I9 hubs
Canfield N9 - Stans Flows on Hope hubs - 29" and Easton ARC30 on BHS hubs setup with 650+ fatties that shoehorn in for low pressure & big traction

Axis Classic with road tires for training on the road.

For my road bike and time trial bike I use:

Mavic Cosmic Carbone for racing and time trials (with a disc rear-wheel in de TT-bike)
Easton Circuit for climbing and criteriums
Mavic Open Pro for training.

Two bikes - both high end carbon "summer" bikes

5 sets of wheels (1 alloy clincher, 4 carbon tubulars) ... all inter-operable

To keep things simple, I typically only have 3 sets of wheels deployed at any one time. Each bike has a set of carbon tubulars on it and the alloy clinchers are ready to go if needed

Right now those three are Zondas, Bora 35mm tubular (new shape), and FFWD F4R tubular

Funny, I feel more confident on a descent on carbon tubulars than on alloy clinchers in the dry ... and about the same in the wet (less stopping power vs risk of fast blowout ...)

and we have a winner!

I don't have bike-specific wheels really.
I have "aero TT" wheels, aero road wheels, lightweight/climbing road wheels, bog standard training wheels, and a few SS/ FG / winter wheels.

Oh I forgot - I do have a new disc brake wheelset (Kinesis Crossmax) for the new CX bike I'm building. That's about the only bike-specific wheelset I own.

I have:
Fulcrum Red Wind 80 clinchers for TT
HED jet ironman titanium 60 clinchers - old TT wheelset.
SRAM S60 and S40 for aero road.
Fulcrum racing 1 climbing wheels.
Cosmic SLE aero road wheels.

SRAM AL27 training wheels
RS80 training wheels
Ritchey comp training wheels.

And a few old self-built wheels used on various bikes.

The only thing I #need# is an aero disc wheelset for the CX bike. I'm thinking Hope Hubs / CX Rays / 35-50 rims.
Look 695 aerolight eTap 11
Boardman TTE eTap 11
Brompton S2 LX ti custom
Trek 5500 1994 Sram Red 10
Boardman CXR9.8 eTap 11
Open UPPER - DA 9270
Ridley x-fire Sram Red 10

and lots of non- WW others.

Mavic cycle and CU products
It has zipp404 for the cycle.
Mavic is very good to very good in uphill stiffness.
zipp is very good on the road
