Default wheel opinion and tire question

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about picking up a set of these wheels (the bottom set)

http://sears.shoplocal.com/sears/def...00327&offerid=

16 is actually the size I want, good compromise of looks/performance/price for me.
Any opinions on the bottom/middle wheel?

Also, what range should I be looking at for four 16 inch tires to fit? I'm looking for decent tires at a reasonable price. Nothing so cheap that they're causing me problems, but nothing to break the bank either.

Thanks!
P.S. Will I have any luck selling my stock 15 inch tires? Should I hold on to them?[/url]

Some people in the East keep their stock wheels for the winter.

that's a thought. I was actually planning on getting snow tires when the time comes, does anyone have any experience with the stock tires in the snow? How are they?

I think stock tires varied depending on model year. I can speak for mine. I have the Goodyear Eagle LS and they did okay in the snow. I got stuck a couple of times, but I blame the car for being so light. I will be using my stock rims/tires for the winter since i have new rims and tires on order.

I used to have 15" Gunmetal Motegi MR7s on my xB.
