Your other option is to make your current wheels winter only and buy some real winter/ ice tires. Then save a bit more and buy what you really want after the thaw. It sound more expensive, but think about wrecking your car, which sounds cheaper in the long run?
I agree with you, with the exception of what i want and what i can afford or justify are two wholly different stories. Think of it this way. I'm sure plenty of you would like a 2007 RS4, so would you go out and buy a 1986 honda civic and then "save up" for 4 or 5 years so you can get the RS4, the whole time having to deal with the dregs of a car. No, probably not. Some might, but i'm not some.
I've always fancied myself a reasonable person, and i'm just looking for a reasonable solution to the problem. And frankly, anything over about 450 a wheel is not reasonable for me.
I'm also not sure you guys understand how much i abhor my current wheels. I'm sick of seeing them, i'm especially sick of cleaning them, and honestly i never really liked them in the first place. I hate chunky wheels with big fat spokes. Granted i liked them a lot more than the stock S4 wheels (hideous), so i didnt complain. But i've had this car for 2 years, ive always said i wanted wheels, and now i have the financial means, i've found something that i like.
