As other posters have stated, many european tyre e-tailers sell wheels and tyres ready to put on the car when the weather changes (yes there are several I know about, French & German).
Last year I purchased winter tyres and had my local tyre specialist fit them to the existing alloys (old tyres were worn so discarded), in March I purchased 4 summer tyres and put the winter tyres in storage. Last week I purchased a set of original alloys for my car, and will mount the winter tyres in the autumn when it is time to change over. I sourced the alloys on ebay, a breakers yard was selling them at a good price.
If looking for steel wheels I suggest contacting your dealer to see what price they will offer for a set of 4, get the part number and search the web too. Some dealers are set up to supply winter tyres & wheels, it depends.
