would it be OK to just swap the tyres over and not purchase a dedicated set of alloys?
I show £1575 inc VAT for the Winter Set - 4x 17x7,5J Style 618, 4x RDCi Sensors, 4x 225/55-17 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 70dB or Dunlop Winter Sport 4D. Michelin Alpin ZP (Run Flat) is also available for £144 additional.

There isn't any "issue" swapping just the tires as long as the eTIS (TPMS) procedure isn't botched and you select the new version of the tire. Just my opinion, but the added time and hassle of swapping tires vs a dedicated Winter setup isn't worth the small amount of savings the first time round. Labor is going to eat that up anyway.
