Default Ronal RT's, good? easy to clean? I'm looking for 16" S4 winter wheel opinions...[m]

I'm looking at several (inexpensive) 16" S4 winter wheel options. I probably can't get them for this season. Anyway, here's the list so
far...

Ronal R7
Ronal RT (they look good, but easy to clean?)
Mille Miglia Spider
Borbet?

I'm just looking for some opinions.

Default ATP S5 - 16" fits over stock S4 front brakes

Easy to clean due to few large spokes and lack of crevices from doodads

Default The 16" Spiders make great winter wheels for the S4 - they've been both easy to clean and

have held up well over some pretty nasty Cincy potholes.

Default easy to clean

At least my 17" are. I just washed them today when removing them until the end of winter. No slots on it into which fingers and sponges won't fit (except for the lug nut holes).

Offset for 16" is 45. Do 16" RTs clear the HP brake calipers? (17s do) Ronal knows, do you?

Default Be sure to get 16x7 ATP S5's

If you check out my posting from a few days ago, "Recommendations for Snow Tires for a S4" you'll see that I have a set of 16x6.5 ATP S5's and they DO NOT work. Eddie from Tirerack says if you go with the S5's in 16" to get 7" width.
