I met this guy through Ebay and got a set of brand new 16x10 American Racing Polished Atlases for $600.00+shipping when the cheapest I could find anywhere else would have been $800.00+shipping. His AOL address is moonmr@aol.com That address is probably on the website too.

Howdy!

Sears blows!

Online is great but you have to pay shipping which cuts into any savings you may receive.

Go to Discount Tire Co. and get a quote. Then negotiate a price to knock off $15.

Have a tiring day.

------------------
My ride:

Basics:
- '99 XLT F-150

Under hood and back:
- Ram air (Don't ask me how )
- AiRaid intake
- Flowmaster DF 50 Series
- 24x3.5" Stainless steel slashed tips (Yes! Solid polished SS, no cheesy chrome-plated)
...

Outside:
- Precision polished billet grille and plate holders
- American Racing 17x8s polished Pythons (Flushed front AND back)
- Goodyear.. something tires (Expensive is all I know. LOL. No Firestone firecrackers for me either)
- Rhino liner
- Ford nerf bars
- Ford bed rails
...

Inside:
- My girlfriend!
...

Fun stuff:
- Dual sirens Black Widow alarm system/keyless entry (Enough decibels to go deaf in a garage )
- Custom driving lights (Just a cool blue)
- 2 High-Watt lights behind grille (For people who cut me off )
- Dual horns (For people who, again, cut me off)
- Dual wheel locks (So I won't be driving home on bricks!)
- Spare wheel lock (So I won't have to use a brick as a spare )
...

Best of all:
- Texas A&M University aTm front plate! Gig'em Aggies!!

I agree with LeanCut.

Last wheel's I bought I got a Discount. AR-136's and Michelin 235/75/15's for my Grand Cherokee. $1000.75 out the door.



They've got plenty of $$ room with those wheels. I was getting quoted over $200 for the wheels. I think they ended up being around $140, and it was when they had first come out.

You may need to get some competitive quotes for barganing power, but you don't actualy need to tell them the whole truth.

Your right, Sears service blows! I bought my wheels from them because they were willing to negotiate. They ended up being 10% better then I could get anywhere else. No way do I trust those guys to install them though. I took the wheels and tires (which I had bought from tirerack.com) and had them mounted and balanced elsewhere.
