Ah, I forgot about the winter wheels needing upgrading too. Well, you wouldn't lose more than about $50-100 going from stocks to 16x7 RS wheels. However, any other worthy brake upgrade also presents this dilemma. RS wheels are cheaper than any 17s. The only "upgrade" that fits under your stock wheels are the Perrin/Wilwoods, but they suck. They have to be periodically rebuilt (which isn't that hard, but it's still harder than not doing it at all) and, the calipers themselves flex under strong pedal pressure. Not good.
