Default RC Rims and winter tires

What do you all think of the RC F-sport rims? I like them a lot, thinking about getting them on the GS. I don't see them at Sewell though.

Second q: is it worth it for me to get winter tires? I live in Wisconsin so quite a bit of snow but the roads get plowed fairly quickly and I'm rarely in town as I travel for a living. I drive to and from the airport twice a week (20 min) and when I'm remote I just do grocery runs. I probably average 500 miles a month unfortunately. I will do road trips in the summer time to get some time in though. Is the cost worth getting winter tires still?

I think winter tires are worth it anywhere that gets snow. I had them on my previous car, got the GS partway through last winter so didn't want to bother right then... and will have them on it this winter. The difference between them and all seasons in the snow is huge.

Absolutely worth it!
It's not only the snow it's the ice that will get you

Those wheels are decent. Not sure of the specs. They are too new to be at Sewell.
