A set of 16" steel wheels new runflat tyres and covers can be had from a dealer for around £700 or £760 including storage and fittings.
Very good point, but an inspection of alloys is always recommended. Steels are ideal as well.

My folks run steels/winters on their Clio Sport (I know 70 year olds and they run about in a Clio Sport!). MyTyres do steels/winters as a package as well; fitted, balanced and delivered to your door.

As they're winters they will be subject to grit salt, possible kerb damage and what not then I can't see the logic in forking out a lot of £££. Steels or used alloys for me.
