Default tire rims thoughts

right now i have 4 17x9.5 C6 replica rims with 275/40R17s on my 00 WS6 now that came with the car, when i got it i found out later down the road after a tire rotation that one is bent badly, so when i get a new set of tires i was going to replace one or maybe whole set, these are my thoughts

1. just buy one new one from "the WS6 store" for $205 and then get ether MT ET street radials or some sort of street DR, down side to this imo is i get bad tire milage out of the DR

2. get 2 17X11 ZR1 replica rims from "the WS6 store" (eventually when $ gets better get the matching front 17x9.5 ones) to replace 2 of my rims, one being the bent one, and then just get a decent set of good street tires but have them be 315/35R17s instead of 275/40R17s so i get a little more traction that way but not get bad tire mileage by using a drag radials so im not going through tires every 4 months or so, also would like to have 17x11s with 315s in the back for looks reasons too but, main down side to this is $$

out of those 2 options i thought of which would you all go with?

what negitives do you guys see with ether of these setups i missed?

and is there a cheaper place to get replica rims like the ones from the WS6 store? ive been checking craigslist and all also

thanks guys
