New OZ Centerlock Wheel, Winter tire question

I am considering getting a second set of wheels/tires for winter use, not because it is a DD, but so I can enjoy the car during the winter. I have a 2011 TT coupe with Spyder centerlocks and don't want to deal with the hassle of changing tires; also while I like the Spyders I realized on my carrera white car I should have ordered the wheels painted black, which I didn't. I noticed the other day on Tire Rack that OZ has come out with a centerlock Ultraleggera in black. I know these aren't HREs, AMTs, etc. or the like but the quoted price delivered, mounted, balanced, new TPMS, etc. with a set of four Pirelli Sottoveros is $4,429 which seems pretty reasonable to me, and the wheels look nice (although I would prefer the edge of the rims to be painted silver or white), they are one piece forged and while not ultralight weight aren't sledges either. Any reactions or other suggestions? Much appreciated. Hopefully I got the picture attached below.

Ordered 20" OZ's for my 2011 CTT...haven't mounted them yet but they are sure are beautifully finished. Both of my buddies have OZ's on their S8's and they are very happy with them. Tire Rack is great to do business with.

Did you take a look at GMG's center lock rims? They are very nice.

Yes, agreed a lot of nice fitments, although not as many for the center locks. I have seen quotes in the $7+k range for wheels and tires on some of these brands so given the quality of OZ the price point is appealing.

OZ are a great wheel company. They don't get enough credit as the only other wheel company that provides wheels for F1 other than BBS
