Default GTS Centerlock Winter Options

What is the recommended solution for winter tires. Not planning on going out in the snow and buying new OEM rims is too expensive. Tried looking for a used set but no luck. Are there any aftermarket rims that you can recommend or do most just switch the rubber on existing rims?

I have a used set of winter tires for sale. 245/20 fronts and 305/21 rear Michelin Alpin 5 NA0 rated. They won't fit the GT3 wheels but the GTS should use these sizes. Not sure where you are but I am in the OKC area.

I plan on just having dealer change tires, but I haven’t talked to them about it yet. I’ll probably schedule next month sometime.

How much are you looking to spend on wheels? The cheapest I have seen are these, not sure about quality. For quality center lock rims you are probably looking at $2000+ a wheel.
