Yeah...by "box stock", I mean width and diameter.  This is a heavy car with
only 2.7 litres of V6 after all!

I had an OEM web/lace BBS wheel on my '89 200 crack, so I'd go with
the 4 new wheels and tires from Tire Rack.  But they may not be "box
stock", unless you mean just stock size and offset.

Getting your 4 original wheels rebuilt will probably run ~$100/wheel,
and you (I would) still have the fear of the old wheel cracking.
