Question on snows...

I've never bought true snow tires before. Would you guys suggest 16" or 17" wheels/tires? I'll probably be getting Dunlop M2 or Blizzak LM-22 tires. Any favorite cheapy wheels out there (I prefer not to get steel wheels)?

smaller and narrower is better for snows - go for 16" if you can

but if you don't find a good match, 17" is OK.
if you check out www.discounttiredirect.com, they have Audi 6-spoke replicas in 16", not too expensive.
Or go to www.tirerack.com, they have lots to choose from.

What tire size is recommended?

What tire size would be used in going with a 16" snow tire. I don't want to go so narrow it looks like 4 spare tires, but definately want it to handle decent.
