You'll actually save money in the long run with a set of winter tires and wheels. Your summer tire/all seasons will wear faster in the cold since they see all four seasons. They aren't designed to grip, and will slip with any application of power.
You'll also keep from marring your regular wheels, and your snows are pretty much trash wheels to begin with. Get a good set of tires, and either buy cheap 18 inch winter wheels or get some stockers that are being sold.
I have experienced a single winter in my Zed, and I was merely driving on cold, very slightly snowy pavement when a pothole slipped me out into a curb. I destroyed the wheel and the spring cup. Don't be me.
