hi Stocky, to be honest with you, in the course of three winters or even four (assuming you keep the car) getting a tire and wheel package versus just getting tires and paying a shop to swap them on your only pair of rims is really the same.

i'll give you an example...

if you buy conti's and rims (cheap) the package will run you $1000 shipped, but if you only buy the conti's and pay a tire shop to swap the tires for you on the original set of rims, the tires will run you $500 and rounding up to $100 to swap them will run you another $400 for the four winters, so at the end of the life of the tires, you will have paid roughly the same, give or take a few bucks... so you gotta decide whether the hassle is worth the up front cost or if you don't mind the annoyance of taking it to a tireshop and asking them to swap them twice a year.
