Question have two sets of unused wheels(15" OEM and 17" AMG), which set to put snow tires on?

I have two sets of unused wheels in my garage.

One set include four OEM 15" wheels from '98 C-class. (stock tire size 205/60/15)

The other set are four identical AMG Monoblock 17" wheels.
(for 225/45/17 tires only, as all four are 17x7.5)

Which set of wheels should I use if I want to put on winter tires? Take for example the Blizzak WS-50, which is available in both 205/60/15 and 225/45/17)

depends on the weather
winter tires on the 15" wheels would offer better snow traction than the 17" setup
