Indianapolis winter tires

I have a X5 MSport xDrive 35i 2015. Please check my logic here:

I will probably want to use the stock wheels 20" M Light alloy Double Spoke wheels style 469M and go to an all weather run flat (if they exist) or go to a Winter only run flat. Last option would be a no run flat all season.

Current tires are run flat:
Pirelli 275/40/ R20 106 W (Fronts)
Pirelli 315/35/R20 110W (Rear)

Question 1: Are the BMW 469M stock wheels less likely to pit from salt?
Question 2: If so, what tires can I pick for these rims for winter?
Question 3: I would then buy rims for Summer only. (not an expense I really want but would be OK to do that vs. switching rims and tires twice a year. Does this sound right? Is that what most of you are doing is have 2 sets of wheels and tires

Our winters in Indy are not as harsh as for example, Boston or Canada.

Thanks
