Default I need help making sense of my daydreams...my plan with rims...i need help!

Okay, over a month ago...I was involved in an accident which rendered 3 of my rims useless...they were 19" dronnells, very sick, cool stuff...anyways, im getting a check for the retail amt. sometime soon...here were my ideas...

since it being winter season, i snowboard like a madMaN, i being a winter hero on the mountain...

I am used to having the look of the 19", but i can sacrifice some...

Basically, i want to have a set of show rims/tires, and a set for track/snow wheels. Of course for the track set, i would change off the rubber when its being tracked, and when its going n the snow...i just need to find out what SIZE i want.

Are there any 18" rims that could be fitted with supreme race rubber, as well as with some rubber for superb snow traction...or would i have to step down to 17"? Because we all know, tracking a car with 19's isnt the best idea.

Should i just save my money on the 19's, and buy me some 18" volks? could they be fitted with winter rubber?

I guess those are all the questions that have been eating at me this morning. yum
