Default Glad the Run-Flats are balding!!

Getting ready to buy some new tires (or wheels/tires) for my 08 GS450H so I can get rid of the run flats... My front tires are shot! The rears were just installed 3K miles ago.

I plan to replace all 4 with Continental Extreme DWS. What should I do with the rear tires - Bridgestone RunFlats?

Also, would be a great time to upgrade to 20" Vossen Concave VVSCV2. Where to buy? What price?

Sell them for a few bucks on craigslist if you can. Otherwise, there's tire swings, toxic fires, mosquito breeding...

What are you planning on doing with your stock 450H rims?

Hit up Vossen for a dealer near you so you can get a price quote. I was in the same situation a month ago and opted for new wheels/tires. Kept the old wheels/tires which I've stored in my garage so I can put them back on when it's time to sell the car.

Thanks for the replies and advice! Will get up with Vossen and D2 Autosport... How much did you pay for the wheels?
