Question wheels and tires

i just blew a tire and need some new sh&%. any suggestions on wheels and tires? i do a lot of snow driving in the winter and a standard commute of about 40-50 miles each week day. I'm not looking for super high performance, more of something that will look ok and perform well in the snow to get passed the "chain gang". as for the rims, the only option is a dark rim, black or gunmetal. any help is appreciated.

Right now I use Dunlop SP5000 all season tires on RS 16x7 wheelsfor spring/summer weather. I have no complaints, they are nice on the freeway, and hold up okay for spirited runs. I believe they are snow capable, but I have a set of oem wheels with Michelin Alpins for winter/tahoe trips.

WHat you could do is get a set of cheap snow/winer tires for your current wheels, and get a set of 17" wheels with some street/summer tires. Then swap them for the seasons. This all depends on your budget though
