Hey folks.

I hit a pothole on the New Jersey Turnpike last week and it apparently bent 2 of my winter wheels. The front-right wheel took the brunt of it and shows the most bend, but the right-rear also shows damage. The car has a shake to it when traveling over 30-40 mph. The dealership quoted me just under $200 for repair and rebalancing, but I'm not a fan of these wheels to begin with (they're 5 spoke and look kind of ghetto on a bright white D). This has me shopping for new winter wheels for next season.

When looking for specifically winter wheels, is it better to go with heavier (25-30 lbs) or lighter (18-24lbs) wheels for traction?

My D has the sport package which has wider rear wheels than in the front. Should winter wheels be similarly offset?

Thanks,
Rob
