Let's say I wanna buy different rims than AK's but the same tires... Do the rims have to be a certain size, what I mean is do only certain sizes fit on the 370? Or I can just fit any rim I want? Are certain sizes better for snow?

I switch my rims in October and drive on them up till March. Then, mid March, I put the summer rims again. So, 5 months on snow rims and 7 months on OEM Rays.
You want to go with narrower and smaller rims for winter setup because it'll give you more traction on snow. I think I went with 18.5. They are very lightweight and tires are dirt cheap for this size ($139 for Blizzaks I just saw @
CLOSEOUT price
).
You can def buy different rims if you like. I actually like the Spearfish's rims too. They are slightly heavier than C2 but looks a little better. When you put your car in the "your vehicle" portion on Tirerack, any rims you see in the search result MUST fit your car. It's guaranteed by tirerack.
