It saves wear on the summer tires which cost more and last less. I would say the saving of wear on expensive summer tires would pay for the extra rims.

I use my SUV when the weather is really nasty here, which is not that much.. That said, I espouse the principal of maximum performance summer or winter. I have max performance summer tires for my MlL (pictured) and Pirelli Scoripion Ice & Snows for winter. Changing wheels takes 35 minutes. I like to be prepared for whatever the conditions.
