Anybody bought tires and wheels online?

[JOHNDEEREGN]

Anybody ever bought any tires and wheels online, had them mounted and balanced and shipped to you?

I have saw this being advertised in some car magazines lately and the prices and shipping look real attractive.

I am wanting to put a lift kit and bigger size tires and wheels on my sons 2006 F150 and thought about going this route.

TIA

I did for a little import daily I drove for a few months, as they were much cheaper than anywhere local. Are you looking at 4wheel parts or something similar? They do offer good prices, usually a really good deal, hoping you will order a lift "since you are there", and keep adding stuff to the order. Usually those mag/online places can beat out all the local deals, even here in SoCal.

Yeah, I didn't have anyone in particular in mind. As you know in rural Kansas options are limited.

I was going to order a 4-6" lift with some bigger Dick Cepeks or something on nice looking rims.

It is a black truck, all blacked out, so just wanted to finish it off.

I have used Tirerack for tires and wheels for my Benz.

I did my tires but no rims from tire rack. They were cheap and they got here quick.

hello; I got some tires from a mail order in the past. I got porked on the mounting because I didn't buy them from the installers. I know Tire Rack work with shops all over. So if you buy tires from them usually there's local shops that work togeather so mounting would not be a problem.

I have numerous times.... never a problem... came out much cheaper than local shops and didn't have to drive around looking at wheels.

I bought M/T DR's, Weld Wheels, lugs, lug nuts and spacers from Jegs.

Discount had to order the stuff and wanted a week to do so.

Jegs had my stuff to me 3 days later.

They did a great job for me and the price was cheaper than Discount by $50 a side.

I used tire rack alot at Ferrari. Pretty much hassle and issue free. They don't sell tires or wheels for Fords....or to people from Kansas.

I ordered four tires one time from the Tire Rack.......but due to recent cutbacks there because of the bad economy, all I got were four bagels.

I've used both Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct. Hassle free.
