Where do you guys get your wheels and tyres from. I need to get some and whilst the dollar is strong I'm considering going the online option.
A few have mentioned US shops that sell rims and tyres but never actually mention the name of the shop and a link.
Throw up a link to help others out.

Well it's pretty much Dollar for Dollar, so you probably wouldn't be saving much.

What I do is, do some research, get the cheapest online price, print it out and take it to the shop, If they don't match it, they're loss. 7 out of 10 times they will price match it.

I havn't done it with an american site but give it a try, print out the email or web page, make sure it includes freight, then go down to your local tyre shop and ask. It doesn't hurt to ask. and try a couple of places. At the end of the day they usually want that sale. I like to chuck in a, "I'd rather support local business's but If you can't do it for that price, I'll just get it from them".

Or just "forget" the shipping and see if they are stupid enough to match

nah, be honest with them. Otherwise it's obvious that your taking them for a ride and gives them a reason to reject you.
