question about winter tires

So yesterday the snow was pretty bad in Wisconsin. I might think about getting a set of snow/winter tires. Are there any recommendation? I'm checking tirerack website though.
16" ? 17" ? are there difference in terms of inches of rim?
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2, X ice ? Bridgestone Blizzak ?
how are they perform?
Thanks guys and stay warm ~ lol

ya u should keep those oem rim for winter tires or use aftermarket rim for winter tires.
Actually i'm a new owner of a 08 and new to forums, my ride is still breaking-in. So i'm not that familiar with TSX guys in Wisconsin. lol
any mods u've got there?
