Personally, I'm a big fan of an OEM look, and have already gone through straightening two of the four 17 inch rims.
As PMR said, the wheels are made by Fondmetal, and my snow tire rims (16 inch) are the same manufacturer. I've had one of them straightened also. I'll be interested to see how long the 17s stay straight, however. I also have not had mine replaced by the dealer due to paint chipping...I guess I was one of the lucky ones?
Not sure whether it's because of my love of potholes, or whether the wheels are soft. Probably a combo of both.
Just my $0.02. Also, you're better off with smaller rims for the snow, traction wise...not sure I'd want 17 inch rims for snow tires, especially since they are more likely to get damaged in the winter time anyway!
