Wheel/Tire?
I have a 98 with wagons and a good set (under 3k) of Firestone Firehawk runflats. Also have a set of painted thin spokes in my basement. Would you:
1) Keep current set up and sell extra wheels.
2) Put firehawks on painted wheels and sell wagons
3) Buy new tires and $$$ensors for the thin spokes and keep wagon setup
4. Buy new tires and sell wagon setup (together or separate tires)
I don't drive in bad weather if I can help it.
Thanks. Any other rational (or even irrational) suggestions welcome.

It depends what you are looking to achieve.
The look on the car, least cost alternative?
Do you want the security of runflats or the performance of regular tires?
Used wagon wheels sell for between $100-150 /4
Painted thinspokes will get more about $100-150 more than that
Do you like the looks of the thin spokes better?
New TPMs will set you back about $85 each.
Your old TPMs are probably nearing ht eend of their 7 year battery life.

I'd sell all 8 and get some 18x9.5 and 18x11 inch chromed CCW 505 wheels with some nice 265x35x18's and 305/30x19's
