Torn help

So I just got a set of replica ZL1 wheels, it's almost winter in NYC and I need to go get some winter tires, I have two options. Buy winter tires for them on these rims and switch tires back and forth between 1 set of rims. Option 2 I still have my 20" SS rims that came with the car so I could plastidip them and throw winter tires on them and then switch wheels back and forth winter to summer. Option 3 but another set of zl1 replica rims and but winter tires for them and switch back and forth summer to winter both sets of replica ZL1 rims. I feel it's a little silly to have 2 pairs of ZL1 rims and it's the most expensive option. What are your thoughts just looking for some opinions thanks all

Option two, plasti dip the ss wheels and keep two sets! You don't want to keep pulling tires on and off.

Agreed I'm gonna give it a shot, just don't know if I'm gonna be able to enjoy the look as much even with the wheels plasti dipped bit I'll try it bc it's a "free" option and if I can't so it I'll buy the other set of zl1 rims........ Thanks for all the opinions I think it solidifies what I wanted to do but needed to hear it from you all

if you keep swapping tires your rims will get damaged

Swapping tires doesn't damage wheels, having an idiot swap your tires damages wheels.

Option 2, plastidipped oem rims look decent regardless, and it'll protect them during the winter.
