Save your RS wheels and get a tire and wheel package from TireRack.

Only other suggestion is getting something slightly used on eBay. I purchased LS wheels right after I bought the car on eBay for $250 shipped to my door, and just got a set of Blizzaks that were basically new (a few hundred miles on them) for $205 shipped to my door. But unless you can find a deal like that (and I waited a LONG time to luckily fall into the tire deal) then the best bet is to get something off TireRack.

Snow tires in the 20" size are $300 a piece. That's $1200. Or you can get the 17" wheel package and get wheels and tires for $932 and save your RS wheels from salt and sand. Then add TPMS and get them mounted and balanced before they are shipped for an extra $215. You are still below the $1200 that way and you don't get pitting on your RS wheels and you will save when/if you have to buy new snow tires. The 17" snow tires are $123 each while the 20" are $300 each!

thats what i'm doing. i've been waitin for heritage rims (or similar) with blizzaks to come up for awhile but they're gonna be few and far between this time of year. new 17s/18s with blizzaks are so much cheaper than having to pay 300/ tire plus the amount to switch them out at a shop.
