The Polestar 19" that are offered as part of a winter wheel package in Europe do the job naturally and apparently BBS SR 19x8.5 work without rubbing on a 235 section tyre, but they're not cheap either.
Best price I've found on a set of Polestar 19s with Alpin A4s is €2650 shipped, which isn't terrible, but isn't great either. I may just have to take it somewhere to test fit a bunch of different wheels.

Do you need winter treads ?
Nottingham is not known for deep snow (I lived there for many years before moving north). Perhaps you live on a steep hill. You could try snow socks. Not ideal, but at well under £100, worth keeping in the boot for an emergency. They work as well as winter tyres for getting up snow-covered hills - at least that has been my experience comparing snow socks with winter tyres on my old V50.
