Are 270M "winter wheels" special?

Is there anything special about the 270m Winter wheels? Why do they call it a winter wheel and how does it differ from the style 219s I just purchased?

The size and offset are different. I know they are 8" wide; not sure on the offset.

I don't think there's any significant difference other than that they are sold as a square set. 18x8 ET 20. A square setup is said to be better for plowing through snow so that's why the set is marketed as a winter set I'm guessing.
