I have some cheap MSW wheels from tire rack with blizzaks for if and when I will ever drive the car in the winter. I used them in the snow a couple times last year and they worked great

In the winter I use stock 18'' AMG rims with Dunlop M3 tires. This setup is just amazing;-)

Im personally not suicidal... all joking aside, stock rims plus a good set of blizzacks will be just fine. Just put it in C and roll onto the throttle dont stomp!

What he said.

Although I rarely drive it in snow. It's not the greatest snow car. I drive the 996TT daily.
