Post SVT 18" with decent tires?

I really like the SVT wheels but I can't seem to find any decent all season tires that will work good in the snow... Does anybody think getting those SVT rims is a good idea at all?..

I got the wheels and i love them. I have the yokohoma AVS tires 285 x 50s. They are alright in the snow. But are worthless in the ice. It snowed a bunch here in oklahoma, and i drove around almost everyday. I never got stuck, just trouble trying to get goung again with a 5 speed. But I would get the SVT wheels for sure.

I have the wheels and tires (obviously, since I have a Lightning) and they are the coolest. I live in Kansas City, and we had a terrible winter, yet, I still managed to drive pretty whell in the snow and ice. Nothing like my mom's Eddie Explorer with all wheel drive, but managable. The tires are really wide, so they manage to grip pretty well, but don't drive with those tires in the snow, if you have to.
