If I bought online, after I paid for them to be mounted and balanced, the price would be more...Plus, one of my wheels arrived bent. They replaced it...That will not happen with an online company, you will just be [censored] out of luck...Happy hunting...
What?
Anyway, DTD offers free mounting, balancing, and shipping. I've bought two sets of wheels and tires from them and highly recommend them. I've also read horror stories from Miata people and Honda people and Celica people about Wheelsnext and Wheelmax. I wonder if anybody else saw that pic of the broken wheel ...

I haven't bought wheels at Discount but I didn't get what I thought was a pretty good deal on a set of Dunlops. 4 205/60R15 Sport A2 mounted and balanced with siping for about $420. I get a free rotaion and check up at like 20,000 or something on the tires. They did put the center cap on my stock wheels wrong, but that was easy enough to fix myself. Granted 15s are much cheaper than the 17s I want, but I don't think I did too bad.

What is the problem here people?? Read, comprehend, that is the correct order...DON'T order online UNLESS it is TIRE RACK or DTD...By ONLINE COMPANY, I mean only those companies who deal exclusively over the net, i.e. WHEELMAX and WHEELSNEXT...Clear? Bottom line, stick with DTD, online or in store. Better?

I ordered some 17" Exel's off of Wheelmax not too long ago. I believe we paid like 650 for all 4 wheels & tires, mounted and balanced, and tuner lug nuts. Plus free shipping!
Only problem I had with them was they ran out of lug nuts and sent me wheels w/ out the lug nuts. So I called them, they told me to go buy some and fax them the bill and the refunded me the money. Not to mention, they forgot to stop the shipment of the other lug nuts so I ended up with two sets! 
Here's a pic of what I got incase you are interested...
