The easy solution would be to buy a set of (cheaper) rims that fit that you don't care if they get corroded and mount some winter tires (e.g. Bridgestone Blizzaks) on them. Then just swap them out with the seasons.
If you are going to run the same tire year round, just take care of your rims. If they are mag or aluminum wheels, you don't have to worry about rust but other corrosion is an issue. Keep them clean, washing the salt/snow off after driving through the wet sloshy stuff, and keeping them waxed will help keep them looking good.
