Where should I buy winter tyres and how should I store my other wheels?

I own a BMW 320 ED and I want to purchase winter tyres. I don't know what type and how to store the tyres in my garage, or should I purchase a new set of rims and if so what type?

BMW makes a standard offer of 195/55R16 87H tyres on 16-inch steel rims with wheel covers for £700. That is very fair. Go for it. Store your summer wheels off the ground in the dark, and build a rack or a loft in your garage if necessary.
