Herm:
I too found the best price in San Antonio, though I live a stones throw from
a Discount Tire store in Houston.
Depending where you are at, you may get the Discount Tire in your area to
meet the San Antonio price (the Houston store wouldn't and lost out on a
sizable sale! Had the San Antonio rims shipped to that store too..^_^)
It wouldn't hurt to ask...and if your store won't meet the S.A. price and
you are out of state, relief from sales tax may off-set the shipping costs
from TX to your location.
Make sure you ask for lug nut PN are the only ones
recommended by Alcoa (NO chrome nuts allowed). If you purchase from Rick in
S.A., he will know about this issue by now (!)
