No worries about the alloys. Their materials are chosen b/c they are light and rust resistant.
I will tell you this...your NYC pot holes will ruin a rim in aheartbeat. Southern Shore or Belt Parkway has those drain grates in the road. You hit one just right and you're buying a new $300 Viggen wheel.
Buy the winter wheel package if you are dealing with a lot of snow and ice. Don't do it for the benefit of the wheels. Having said that, the traction on those low profile Z-tires is very poor. I switched out the alloys on my 9-3SE for steel wheels with Blizzaks and Saab hubcaps. I'm delighted with the traction although handling suffers somewhat.
good luck.
