Fair enough.
But remember, skinner tires have less chance of hydroplaning.
The car is fairly light. Not the best combination with wide tires in snow. It is in that other 1% you want maximum grip. That is what I am thinking.
Is it not the rule of thumb everywhere to get a little bit skinnier tires on winter compared to OEM summer? Especially not wider...

What he said.... (buy something used)
...or I would just use a little extra and buy some new cheap 80-100 dollar 16" alu wheels that look decent.
If people can afford the car brand new, they should afford putting something nicer than steelies on it.
I would never put steelies on my car... But I would have to look at the wheels for about 5 months a year, so that should explain my point of view.
