MSP winter driving

Just bought a 2003.5 Mazda Speed Protege (spicy orange) and I think it's great , a very cool car! But now I need winter tires and have had some trouble finding out what I should do. Do I put some on the racing hart 17 in rims? Do I but new little ugly cheapies (such a shame)? I would hate to make my car look worse, we usually try for the opposite! But also hate to ruin nice rims. If you haven't guessed this is my first nice car. Some advice from the more knowledgeable folks would be appreciated. Thanks. CPH

Best to get some winter wheels instead of swapping on/off from the racing harts. The wheels will be better off in your garage away from the winter elements/road salts, etc.

BTW, if you have a spicy orange msp, then it is a 2003, not a 2003.5;) 3.5 colors are: Titanium, silver, blue, yellow. 03 colors: black, orange
