... and how much you value their appearance. I switched to really sticky tyres when mine wore out. But then I didn't have long to wait as my driving style is quite hard on tyres. Even if I only had 15" steel wheels on my Aero, I wouldn't change the wheels just for performance as the improvement would be small for the price. I might be tempted when taking appearance into account as well. I'd be looking for used ones.
Since my Aero has 16" Super Aeros, though, I don't have that problem. I wouldn't change them, especially for anything bigger. Consider that I've done lots of things to the suspension now including fitting Abbott springs and Koni shocks and still haven't changed the wheels.
It all depends how you want to spend your money (and how much you want to spend).
