Hello,

I'm about to start shopping for winter tires and wheels, and I'd like people opinions on two different plans:

1) Buy steel wheels and use them for winter

2) Buy alloy wheels, put the current tires on them, and put the winter tires on the stock steel wheels.

My reason for thinking #2 might be a good idea is that I have a (possible irrational) fear that I'll lose one of the hubcaps. If I was running them as winter rims instead I'd just take the hubcaps off.

Thoughts?
