So did anybody put their rims back on yet or am I crazy?

Welcome to the way of things in the snow belt. Summer tread tires don't get ANY traction in snow. You might as well be driving with slicks. So us folks in the snow belt normally put the stock wheel/tire combo on for the winter and swap back and forth.
I'm waiting until the temps in consistently in the 50's before I put the summer wheel/tires back on. Right after that, I'm going directly to Discount Tire to get some new tires to replace my near treadless Kumho 711s.
My guess it'll still be a couple of weeks.

I put mine back on yesterday. The only thing that sucks is that theres still some salt left on the road. I'll just go to the DIY car wash and rinse 'em off every other day or so.
