used alloy rims are readily available + fairly cheap. Some junkyards try to get more than they should for them though so shop around + watch classifieds lists. Most tire shops don't charge for installation if you buy the tires there anyway. I think steel rims aren't too expensive for these cars, but I made the mistake of buying new steel rims for a c900 years back + it cost a fortune - much more than for used alloys. Used steel rims should be really cheap.
And, in terms of tires, if you like driving in lots of snow, I highly recommend the Nokian Hakkas (+ studded if you are allowed)!
