Default Thinking of Winter Tires & Wheels

I need to start looking for winter tires & a set of wheels.
There seems to be a lot of options out there. Some replica wheels for $7-800 for a set of 4.

I've never been a fan of replica wheels. With all the pot holes in Michigan anything soft will bend easily.

That being said, a set of 20 inch replicas with Blizzaks would run less than 2K installed.
OEM wheels I've seen are double that.

Anybody had experience with the replica wheels like Morxchn or USARim?

On my 2005 turbo truck, I used 18's for winter. Use 19's on my 2009 turbo truck as 18's don't fit.

Thanks. I'll probably make a deal with 993c2cab for those wheels.
