Thanks for the help:-)

Say i were to just get all season low pro's? would that be better than what i have now? or should i just go stock rims and all season(or winter) tires?
I would personally buy stockers. When I have my 17" Enkei RS6 with lo-pros I used the wheel that came with my car (not stockers but little 15") and switched them out every season. Now I don't use the rims and still riding on those 15s and traction now sucks. Try driving a turboed GS with weight reduction, stick, with crappy tires and see how hard it is to get traction.

Also, it's good idea for stockers incase you hit a pot hole or something hidden by snow. Don't want to bend your rim. Same with curbing them should you actually lose it.
