to be honest, winter wheels are only really neccessary if you have wheels with a polished surface not really neccesary on a vauxhall corsa imho

It's not really to do with the finish of the wheels IMO, it's all about how much the wheels are worth.
My old wheels would have been £550 new, so £160 on a set for the winter saves me spending £250 on a refurb (and having to find wheels while that's being done), or £550 on new wheels in the spring.
Stoney's wheels are rare as fuck, and worth a fair few quid, the GSi ones aren't, so they're better to use when the roads are crap because it doesn't matter if the salt chews them up.
