To a large extent, your choice of snow tire depends on your snow environment. For most people, living in urban areas and travelling on roads that get some attention from the plows and salt trucks, Nokian NRW is the tire of choice. Or was, until it was replaced as of Aug 1 by the WR in automobile sizes. Very good snow and slush performance (both wear the "extrememe service" label) they are H or V speed rated and provide something approaching summer-tire performance on dry and wet roads.
The WR is avialable in the Aero OE 225-45-17 XL size, "V" speed rated, but I'd go down to a 16" size because of potholes. You can read more in NINES. (follow the link)
As for wheels, the Saab Owners' Convention parts tent had "open box" and "discontinued" alloys at a price to make one weep...Also, Saab's catalog snow tire package comes on alloys.
