I'm the first person to say "Buy locally" but when the local dealer wants several hundred more for the same item, I have to go with the cheaper option. I just can't justify the difference in price.

Case in point, I went to my local wheel and tire shop just last weekend to get a price quote on the wheels I'll be ordering in the next couple months. I was quoted $1997, tax included for them. I priced the SAME EXACT WHEELS online and can have them delivered to my door for $1431. To me it's a no-brainer. The $566 savings is paying for the complete set of tires from tires-easy.com.

If the local tire and wheel dealers were more willing to match prices, maybe not as low as online dealers, but reasonably close, I'd LOVE to buy locally. Seems like they'd rather lose an entire sale rather than cut into their per item profit margin.
