This is the way to go, a spare set of 18 inch wheels and good winter tires will cost significantly less. I think I paid around $1,200 for my winter set up below. Price will vary + or - due to what wheel/tire brand you choose. It is still a large cost but it is way less than $500/tire for a 20 inch winter tire, and I do not have to deal with appointments at tire centers for mount/dismount/balancing/risk of wheel damage. I just swap wheel sets with an impact wrench and hydraulic jack at my convenience during season change over.If you are trying to get 20" winters, yeah, you will pay through the proboscis. Ultimately, over a few winters, it'll be cheaper to go with 18" wheels and tires for the winters if, like me, you live where such things are necessary. 20" low-profile snow tires are expensive and really not terribly effective, compared to taller, narrower rubber.
They are TR Motorsport C4s, Tire Rack's in house brand. Around $170 per wheel.Si Chris, those are nice looking rims you use for winters. Do you have details posted somewhere?
