Winter wheel and tyre sets for a Santa Fe

I have a 2011 Santa Fe with standard Kumho 235/60/R18 tyres. I need to fit winter tyres for the ski season, and understand it is preferable to fit complete wheel and tyre sets if the winter tyres will need swopping for normal road tyres on a regular basis. In view of the wide range of wheels available, what wheel and tyre set would you recommend for this vehicle please? I am anticipating paying c.£1K for the sets.

That 235/60 R18 tyre size. It's also the standard size for the Range Rover Evoque. Don't go deeper profile. 60 is fine.

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
