get cheap alloys that nobody like as steels tend to go for more imo

Ive got v6 breaks so they need to be 15s ideally. Seen some on a zafira but they were 5 stud ?

think joeseth17's got some vw g60's forsale
otherwise try finding a 4 stud astra g in a scrappy or someone breaking for spares as some of them have 15 steels
think some scenic's had 16" 4 stud but you'd need spigots i think

Why do people bother with 'winter wheels'
Complete waste of time imo. Just clean ur alloys 2 or 3 times a week! Job done.

Yeah just keep your existing alloys clean, wash them after driving in grit/roadsalt etc

More likely to slide into a kerb in the snow/ice, so sometimes easier to put on shite wheels.

i've just took my alloys off and put on some vw golf 13" steels, infact, i actually prefer the steelies to the 16" alloys, sits lower and looks cleaner also
