Driving in the snow with stock MS6 rims?

[carajo]

With all the spokes in the MS6 rims, does anybody have any tips on getting the snow out of the rims so that the car doesn't shudder down the road?

My other cars were only 5 or 6 spoke rims, so I'd just stick my snowbrush/scraper in there to get them mostly clean.

I haven't found it to be too much trouble, but if you're super worried, just find a real thin handled scraper. I had more buildup on the fenders than between the wheels.

I have no garage, so the snow has plenty of time to stick.

When I bought my Cougar, the first car I had with rims as opposed to steel wheels and hubcaps, the first snowstorm resulted in a very freaked out carajo. I drove my car at 45 or 50 for 12 miles on the highway, since it was shaking so bad. The poor guy at the car dealership must have answered the same question about 20 times that morning by the time I called!

I'm talking about the snow that builds up in the rims and makes the car feel like it's out of balance when you drive it. I don't understand how it being awd "ish" helps that not happen.

steel winter rims/snow tires an option?
