Most of us with aftermarket wheels get performance "summer" tires. These tires in exchange for their increased grip are often a softer compound. Unfortunately, the cold weather makes the tires stiffen up and perform poorly.
I laughed all winter watching everybody drive with their wheels on in the snow. Why would you ruin your biggest investment on your car (for most folks) just to look cool in the snow? If you must drive with your wheels on in the snow at least get a set of Michelin Pilot all seasons or Alpins (snow tires) they both come in 215/45/17's (ideal for 5th gen accord)....
Please don't drive chrome in the snow. Salt+chrome= money pissed away.
