I bought a set of E83 alloys last year and used them for the winter. Cost me 200 from ebay but I sold the tyres for 100 so I got a mint set of alloys for 100
Used them with 235/55/17 dunlop M3 and they worked well in the snow.
A word of warning about winter tyres from ebay, the minimum recommended tread depth for winter tyres is 4mm, many on ebay are around 4mm because they have been brought in from Europe. Choose carefully!
