I ordered a wheel & tire package from the tire rack:
17x7.5 Rial Como wheels - picked them because I like the look, were reasonably priced and are low pressure cast.
Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 tires - good rating on tire rack, and I've enjoyed Blizzak tires in the past on other vehicles
I also had them install the TPMS sensors, balance, mount, ship to installer, etc..
I have a Touring model, so the stock wheels are 18". I went with 17" because its a half inch more sidewall, it was ~$250 less than the 18's and the pot holes in the winter here are brutal, so I want as much sidewall as possible
I've hit potholes hard enough in the winter to shut off the car, eject CDs, bend rims, break cord plies (sidewall bulges), etc..
Got a $50 rebate too which more than covered the installer swapping my wheels. Guy was nice enough to mark where my summer wheels were mounted so I can continue rotating my summer wheels.
