Default Arrggghh that time of year again

Well as some may or may not know I had the idea of running my Toyo T1-R's over the winter on my anthacite alloys and keep my silver so2 shod rims for summer use. The thing is I quite like the look of the anthacite rims now hence my dilema

The anthacite rims are in need of a new set of rear rubber in the not to distant and the T1-r's have faired very well.

So do i keep my toyo shod anthacite oem
go back to silver oem's and fork out for a new set of front So2's, plus a rear set in approx 5k's time
Or look at an alternativetyre combo. If they were available in my size i'd plum for the Yokohama Parada spec 2's, but they don't make em
I just don't know

In an ideal world where I would be a bit more flush I'd have a set of 17" TE37's so tyre selection wouldn't be a problem.
