I've now found out that the set that is standard here is:

Alloy wheel styling 141
Good Year Eagle DU-GW3 ROF RSC 205/50-17

So that's also a 17-inch wheel and the tires are run-flats without spikes. I don't really mind those wheels, and I've found that the consensus is that they should be 17-inches or smaller. But run-flats? I guess I can live with that, but aren't they inferior in terms of both ride and performance?

And no spikes? What's your experience with that? Aren't tires with spikes much, much grippier?
