Its not about your rims as much as it is about the tires your running your car on
if you live in a heavy snow area I would say put a cheap set of rims during winter if your afraid of scratching them if not then get a good set of snow tires and you should be good

i run my stock 17's with Dunlop Wintersports when the snow starts falling. No way are the 19's seeing the sand and salt.
