I was thinking of getting another 3 of them and putting a 205/60/15 or whatever the proper tire size is and go with just the spare rims with snow tires for the winter, afterall isn't it that the wider the rim in the snow the worse it is so I figure the 4.5 should be ok, just an idea. how much are those hankook ice beras worth anyway?

I wouldn't feel safe riding on the space saver 4.5" wide rims for any longer than it would take to reach the nearest garage. These rims weren't designed for prolonged use. The Hankooks cost me $600 incl taxes and installation. These are great winter tires, excellent in deep snow and slush.
BTW a 205/50R16 would never fit a 4.5" wide rim.
