Here's what I have on my car right now, 235/55/17 premium painted cast aluminum rims (see attachment).

I live in an area that gets snow about 5 or 6 days a year. I don't like chains because the owner's manual gives far too many warnings and type restrictions. So I'm thinking of buying a pair of rims (2) and putting snow tires on them. Any suggestions on where I could order these from? Anyone here selling just two?

I was running 2 snows for the first bit of winter when I orriginally got the car (now run 4 snows). I had them in the back, but later switched them to the front as I learned: in the snow it is more important to stop then to go. As for where to buy the rims, try newtakeoff.com, a dealership, or local classifieds.

I will be driving my Mustang throughout the winter here in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where last year we received more than 50 inches of snow--if you want the best Snow tires, get Blizzaks by Bridgestone--the best!!

I'am running 4 Blizzaks and steel wheels from discount tire, rims and tires mounted shiped to my door. under $700. Works great.

I know that every driving situation is different. With my lifestyle, the only place that I absolutely must drive to is work, which is 20 km on mainly level ground, along a high-traffic and well-plowed route. In the snow, I drive like a granny. I make sure I have plenty of stopping room (or sliding room, as the case may be :0 )

What seems to happen to me is I get stuck at a stop light. I try hard not to come to a complete stop, but it is sometimes unavoidable. Once I am stopped, it's really hard to get going, especially on an incline. My tires spin, no matter how gentle I am. I usually rock myself back-and-forth to get going, but there is usually a lineup of 4x4's behind me, all rolling their eyes at the idiot stuck in the Mustang.

I just bought two Charcoal Bullitt Wheels (GT Takeoffs) for my rear, to match the others. I plan to put snows on them, and this way I can swap easily and as often as necessary. I am told that it is safe to have snows on the rear and A/S on the front because the Mustang is a rear-wheel-drive. I will try it this year, and if there are any issues I will go out and buy two more rims for the front.

The rims cost me $100 each at v6mustangstuff.
