Spare tyre

This might be a stupid question..but..anyway..I'm planning to get a set of new wheels rite...the problem is..I dont have a spare tyre as my Mini comes with the Run-flat tyre option...has anyone had this kinda situation before?
What should I do? should I get a temporary replacement tyre? or just drive without the spare tyres?
Thans guys

a search would reveal that this has been discussed many times ... however I'll save you some trouble Most are carrying a MINI mobility kit and/or tire plugs/cigarette lighter powered air compressor/tire-weld/fix-a-flat etc. As long as you dont shred a tire completely those will get you by in a pinch

the question was what is s/he to do if he replaces runflats with non-funflats. Depending on the hole and its location most tires including runflats can be repaired.
