FWIW, I once read a comment from Kas Kastner that he liked wire wheels
because they fail gradually.  Steel wheels are more of an "all or nothing"
proposition.

At the very least though, I'd either tune them myself or get someone to do
it.  Loose spokes are almost a guarantee of broken spokes if you drive them
that way very long.
