Alternative is to try looking for SVT Contour or 16-inch Cougar rims, in addition to used/new 16-inch Focus rims.
Cheap Thrills in Milton is probably the best route. Aside from that, you can try other retailers offering aftermarket rims.
BAT Inc. in Florida has some cheap NEW stock 16-inch rims. I think they were under $250 USD.
As for tire choices, Blizzaks are good from new to half usage. AFter that, they become an all-season tire. For "normal" uses, they are good. If you're doing any extended highway driving, be sure to go with something that has an H-speed rating. This means you'll be trading off some snow and ice traction for higher speed stability.
