I'm looking to run some cheap wheels with cheap studded tyres on them for snow days. I found these on Nashbar:

The wheelset is $130 and the tires are 20 each, for a grand total of $150 + an 8-spd cassette.
I'm guessing these wheels will be ridden 10 to 20 days a year. Am I going "too" cheap here? I thought about getting nokians and a nicer wheelset, but that is some serious scratch for 20 days a year. Would anyone have any reservations about this, or should I just go for it?
