Which Tires and rims to choose?

[tekman]

Alright, I took everyones advice and changed the order to the upgraded sport tires and rims.

Now I need to do some research to see what rims and snow tires I can find that will fit. If the weather holds true and doesn't snow from mid february on, I won't need snow tires until next winter. STL winters are pretty weak for snow anyway.

I'm comparing this to having grown up in Southeastern Wisconsin where winter is a befuddled mess of 4 ft banks of black road slush and snow that ices over every night for 5 months. Think of Canada with a bar on every other corner.

The only redeeming thing about Wisconsin is that it isn't Minnesota. (weatherwise)
