I bought both the rims and tires together as a package deal ($80 off coupon code) so they offer the mount and balance free of charge
I changed the post and it still sent out the original one. I can't figure out computers anymore. 😕
 
I finally placed my order for winter tires and rims. I decided to downsize to 16" for my 2020 Touring. I've had amazing success with Quattro Tire in Canada (3rd set of tires I've ordered) and got a solid discount on top of the $60 cash card. I went with hubcentric steel wheels and Kumho WINTERCRAFT ICE Wi31 tires. They'll ship balanced and ready to install

I was going to ask a stupid question but then I re-read your post. So...nevermind.
 
If you can find a good deal from a junk yard on old rims for the snow tires then going for additional rims is a great idea. I did this for the Subaru and it saved time, money , and tires can only be changed so many times before the beads won't hold air anymore.
 
Emphasis on SNOW tires guys. I had a Subaru and it was okay in snow but once I put on winter tires it was phenomenal. If you need to drive in snow make sure you pony up for the snow tires and just change them when winter is over. No comparison with "all season".
