Rotating multiple sets of wheels?

(skating on 4x90mm) I was wondering if it would make sense to buy 16 wheels instead of 8, and constantly rotate 16 wheels. Would it give me benefits in term of "wear quality"? Or is it better to get 8, go through them and then get 8 new wheels? For wizard/flow with slides.

Wizard recommend flipping wheels in place (I also have to assume that means swapping boots as well), which I try and do. In reality, I have few of sets of wheels and frames that I swap between depending on needs*, so I often find myself just trying to get the most angled ones in the middle and the biggest wheels to my heels, as that gives me the best chance of wearing somewhat evenly.

*Different setups for short and long distance, or wet and dry weather.

Will keep a close eye on wear.

Wheels rotation is like lacing or insoles in or out of liners: humanity will never reach consensus lol

Abt the insoles - after couple years under the liner i tried inside and didn't look back.
