My winter tires are mounted on my stock rims (the 16" 5 split-spoke alloy wheel from 2002). I have Dunlop Winter Sport 3 tires, and I felt very confident on them last winter. I never drove in more than 4-6" of snow, but they behaved very predictably on snow/slush/ice in Michigan.
It might be just as easy to find a used set of those rims as finding a set of steel rims for the winter.

It amazes me that this question still comes up.
YES, if you are going to be in snow, this car needs snow tires. 17"s and sport tires will go nowhere in the snow. I know from personal experience. A set of C240 rims are always easy to come by. Skip the steelies, they make the car look like complete ****.
