Check the tyre size as most of the tyre / wheel combo’s have 225x45x18 and they’re not worth all that much.
I had the RS4 style replicas on mine and found that when playing in the snow sideways the snow got packed on the inside of the rim, when I’d finished playing the weight of the snow had put the balance out so at 45 – 50 I had major wheel wobble.

I’m a little out of touch now but I used to be a tyre fitter and most winter wheels are steel because they are more resilient to corrosion from all the wet and road salt. I have only seen one 8 on steels and don’t know where you’d get them.
Have you tried A8 parts? They have a set of sport alloys listed at the mo.
