Are you running the lowest air pressure recommended? It gives the tires some flex and should crack the ice out.
Or just buy "ice proof" tires. Aka bald tires.
When I had problems with low profile tires I took Pete's advice. Although you might be able to get normal rims and tires that fit.
Spray it down with windshield wiper fluid, the deicing kind.Even better is winter wheels. Get rims and tires that are better suited for the winter, and run them when it's cold. I did this years ago, back when I drove a car with wheels that were bad for winter.

My car has low profile tires and very wide wheels. I have to park outside at work so snow gets into the wheels on days when it snows, and since it sits so long, the snow turns to ice. No big deal, right? Except that the ice unbalances the wheels and the car shakes like crazy if I try to drive faster than about 45 mph. Anyone have any ideas for deicing the wheels?--If I had a pressure washer I think I could knock it off easily, but I don't have a pressure washer. I could try throwing buckets of hot water on them, but that will freeze on the ground and may ultimately add to the problem. A heat gun doesn't move enough air so it would take a full day's work to deice 4 wheels.Looking for suggestions...
