Looking at up to 6" of snow in Boston tonight, 7-Apr, I gotta say 
real snows are pretty important here.  Unless maybe you don't drive 
when there is snow on the roads?  Something that big and wide, 
especially on the rear of a rwd car, just seems like a bad idea.

Why not keep the current rims, for snows, and get a set like you 
describe for the summer 6 months?
