just tell them you got the tires from a different B&L location, and they only charge $16

Being in retail, I know this to be a trick we fall for

I bought my rims and tires from tire rack, ended up saving about 2 grand versus local shipping and everything included.

Like BlazeONE, I ordered a Wheel and Tire Package (SSR-GT-1's with SO-3's) and was extremely happy with TireRack. Even with delivery by UPS, I saved $1500 over buying locally.

I think a good "rule of thumb" is $1000.00 Cdn. If your tire/wheel purchase is near this, you need to take a close look before deciding which option to take. Much over, go with TireRack. Much below, buy local.
