I just went OEM.. it seemed like the least amount of hassle.. I was really surprised by how well the Blizzaks did in the snow, even @ 255/17s. Before last year, I didn't even know they MADE Z Rated snow tires!

Since you're in NJ, I'll throw this out: FS 4 Bridgestone Blizzak Snow Tires mounted on Stock 17" Rims $1000 I'm trying to sell my set that I used last winter, and we can meet up somewhere convenient since you're close.

Steel wheels? no., However, the BASE 986 wheel was 16" (admittedly, alloy). 6 and 7 x 16. Is the real issue that you are looking for Steel? Why so? Just put some good waxz on the alloys and have at it!

Best traction in the snow... 205/55/16 snow tires all around. The car looks a little naked in the rear with this setup but it works great. OEM wheels are the way to go. You should be able to find a set of takeoffs near you for cheap.
