You misunderstood my post.
I got my setup for roughly $600.
In November, I found some BMW 19x8.5 wheels on CL ($200), 72.56mm to 66.9mm hubcentric rings ($11), practically new 245/45/19 Blizzak LM60 tires on CL ($250), TPMS sensors $55, and paid another $100 for mounting and balancing.
Since then, I picked up a set of takeoff 245/45/R19 Goodyear A/S tires since it seems as though my area won’t see many snowfalls.
I have a decent winter wheel/tire setup and my stock set is tucked away until April rolls around. This is a more than acceptable setup for the climate in my area.
Now, I agree with you in a sense that if someone prefers to package everything together new from TireRack, Discount Tire Direct, someone is a wheel enthusiast, insist on running wider tires in the winter or apprehensive towards buying anything used then absolutely you’ll be in over $1,300 before UPS drops off the package.
If I still lived in Pennsylvania I would go a step further and look for an 18” wheel that clears the SS calipers to get into the Blizzak WS series tire as opposed to the performance winter LM series.
