You still have to store the tires, which take up the same amount of space, plus pay to have the tires switched out. It's better to just have two complete wheel/tire sets.
Also, if you have a high-quality set of aluminum wheels, they'll hold up at least as good as steelies. Most of the problems people run into with road damage involve lower quality wheels with high porousity aluminum, which tend to develop cracks more often than forged or high-pressure cast wheel.
