Yeah, eBay seems to have the best deal at $292 for wheels and $270 for shipping to Alaska. So, 562 bucks. Still expensive, but not really that bad. I don't have an eBay account though and PayPal confuses the hell out of me. That's why I've been trying to find a good site to order from. I used that discounttiredirect.com site and found the black DR20's in a +40 w/ the tire's I listed above for like 1100 shipped. :shock:

Yeah, it may not state it but guaranteed if I were to order them they'd catch the shipping an try to charge me 300 bucks like everyone else. I think I'll call them and talk to someone, maybe I can get a deal or have them shipped to my terminal in Tacoma.

Ha, if I ship them to my terminal in Tacoma it's free UPS Ground shipping for a total of 695US w/ Dunlop
Direzza DZ101 tires which are pretty aggresive tires and free mounting and balancing. I'd have to talk to my terminal manager to see what kind of deal I could get to ship them up here, but surely they can beat 411 bucks.

Yeah, I'm kinda between the Kumho's, Nittos, Yokohama's and the Dunlops. The Nitto's look like they would be the most effective in fast cornering and really aggressive driving situations.
