HFP Rims with All Seasons or 14" Steels with Winter Tires?

I was wondering what would be the best thing to do for winter? Should I throw All Season Tires (Pirelli's) on my HFP 16" rims or put the 14" Steels on with a set of Winter Tires? I just don't know if I want to go through the hassle of swapping wheels twice a year, plus the storage of a set in our garage year round. I know Winter Tire performance can't be beat...What would you do given the choice? Thanks for your opinions!

Question

I just kept the stock 15 alloys when I bought my 16's from Honda and plan on swapping them out - where did your 15's go?

Don't ask...That is a whole other story. Basically, I just have the 14" steels and the 16" HFP tires...

I use my stock light alloy 15" during the summer with Bridgestone POtenza RE040 (original) 185/55 in the winter Yokohama 601 175/75 if I am not mistaken on 14" steel rims. It works like charm. I do not mind the swapping, it is like a therapy for me, and storing them is not a big husstle...
