Probably won't happen this winter, but depending if I'm staying in the snowy north for awhile, I'd like to get a separate set of snow tires, put the stock wheels on those, and get some nice alloys for the all-seasons, probably like a gunmetal or black to blend with the gray plastic.
Speaking of winter - does anyone have any recommendations for simple mods/tips to improve the driving, heating, or mpg of the car?
LOL! Yeah, we love pictures around here
! Glad you picked up on that

I highly recommend two sets of wheels and tires. We have had seperate sets of wheels and tires for both our Vibes since we got them in 2009. It's nice to be able to keep the beautiful OEM 18s from getting destroyed by the salt, sand, etc. during the winter months.
As far as improving MPGs, the best advice I can give you is to make sure your tires are properly inflated and keep your RPMs under 3000 when accelerating.
