Just changed to winter tires, but....

I was using stock rims and everything on the summer tires. Got changed to winter tires today, and there's no cover on them at all, and it really looks dumb. What exactly am I looking for and where do I get it? I'd be fine with anything basic, anything but without the covers. I was considering alloys some time ago, but they turned out expensive, so I'll consider them again in the summer.

Yeah, I don't have any real life acquaintances that know anything about cars, sorry for the uneducated question. : (
 
No covers? Do you mean hubcaps? Should be able to find them easy enough.(Walmart, Zellers or Canadian Tire) Do you have the 14 hole Steel wheels?

Depending on the size of rim you can pick up Stock Alloy rims on ebay for around $35-50 ea. I found a set of 16's for $45 ea. Gonna put a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks on them. Perfect for winter.
 
Well, the basic ones appear to be sold out in most retail places (16" covers).

I guess finding an alternate pair of 16" stock rims would work too, but I'd have to bring it in again to get put on.

What do you mean by 14 hole Steel wheels?

Those are steel wheels.
