Use the original rims with the snow tires and get nice rims for the rest of the year.

that would be ideal, but the budget says otherwise. thanks for the input guys, i will just mount them on the originals and hope i can save some money to get new summer wheels and tires.

Try searching for Mazda Millenia wheels. Perfect for winters. The narrower tires are better for snow. They cut through rather than ride up on top.

I think all years have the same wheels. Why not get a used set of alloys from a scrap yard. They'd probably be as cheap as new steel. I have no idea of the tolerances or offset of steel for the Millenia.
Here are the spec on the alloy.
