I have a dilema...HELP!!

I was planning on buying new wheels for Molly in April our 3rd Anniversary, but I just found out today that TR is discontinuing the ones I had my heart set on (Elbrus I04). So my question is and here's where my dilema starts...
a) Purchase 16" rims ($99) now or wait to find another wheel that I like in April?
b) Purchase same but 17" rims ($122) now and have to buy 205/45-17 Tires in April?

I'm so confused...HELP!!

My 2¢...we replaced the stock wheels and runflat tires on both our MCS a few months back with 17's and only regret is not doing it sooner. It rides & handles much better. Go get 'em! Merry Christmas, Happy Anniversary, & all that jazz.
