Question Winter Tires and Rims

I just bought a G35 Coupe. It has the sport package and the 19 inch wheels. I've been told by the Infiniti dealer here in Edmonton that I need winter rubber if I want to even get in my driveway after a snow fall. They offer Bridgestones on nice 17 inch rims for $2000. Does anyone know where to get a better deal?

Checked tirerack. Not much to offer. The Infiniti dealer in Edmonton are installing Bridgestones on 17 inch all the same size. They have done lots and have had no problem. Tirerack recomends different sizes for front and back. Also they say that the wheels need new inflation sensers that they dont have. Anyone have an idea where else to look?

I use the Bridgestone Blizzacks from tirerack for my winters. I wouldnt go with any other tire. I put 245's all the way around on my stock wheels (19's). Any the TPS sensors in the stock wheels work fine with the blizzacks. Ive never had a problem and am going on my 3rd winter with them

I want separate rims!

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want 17 inch Rims with good winter rubber for less than I've been quoted here in Edmonton.

I want to buy Enkei RS6 rims and put 225/55/17 winter tires on all around. Online tire companys say I need 17-8 rims but the RS6 only com in 17-7. Will they work or not?
