Which wheels should I use for my Winter Tires?
I am requesting your opinions folks...
I just picked up a set of 2008 OEM 17" alloys from a 2008 IS AWD. I was originally going to use them for the set of winter tires I just picked up, but after a photoshop request (a special shout out to drpepper for his help with this!) I am wondering if I should use my current ES 350 alloys as my winter wheels & the IS wheels for my all seasons (the winters will be on about 4 months of the year & exposed to the salt & grime we see this time of year & the the other set will see 8 months of generally decent weather).
Thanks in advance for your votes everyone!

1st Option - ES 350 alloys...

I personally would use the 250's for your winter gear. Why? I personally like the ES 350's better and would rather see them on the car during the warmer months. BUT....on the other hand, using the 250's during the winter with all those "spokes(?)" will make the wheels harder to clean!!!
I stand firm on my suggestion: I'd use the 250's for winter.

You should use the 350's for summer and sell the 250's to me!
Then you should get some chrome plated rims for winter. Unplated rims will just get ruined by the road salt...the bead seats will erode and you will start to get leaks.
