no biggie (I live in NH). Yout don't want to run your nice rims in the winter (salt damage, potholes, etc) but older alloys are fine. Did this on my C900 (used alloys were $50 each) and I have stock Saab alloys on my 9000, saving my Aero wheels for summer.
I like old alloys for winter better than steel as they don't rust and you don't have to use plastic wheel covers to still have the car look decent. Plus, they are readily available at salvage yards, on eBay and in the classifieds here, often for less than the price of new steelies.
