Wheel Wax is amazing stuff. It's specially formulated for wheels and will protect them all winter long.

I would find cheap steel rims from base model and put on winter tires.

Steelies are the route to go, I have CompG rims as my winter runners. I would still check out the stuff Don suggested if you don't have access to steelies.
