Interesting wheel shop experience... need thoughts
Ok, so here's the deal.. I went to a couple shops today looking for quotes on a set of wheels (Enkei's). At this one shop the guy quotes me 1100 for 4 wheels, and even says that he might go down to 1000 for all 4 of them. The weird thing is(besides how cheap they are), minutes earlier he told me that per wheel it would be 275 for him. So 275 x 4 = 1100.. does he not care about profit or what?
Second shady thing about this shop is that they had an apparently discontinued Enkei wheel hanging on the wall. Certinly this isnt that unusual, perhaps they had some still in stock, but this shop hasnt been open all that long.
3rd thing is, I walked in and was blinded by a bunch of blingin Arelli wheels
Anyway, just wondered what you guys thought.. steer clear of this place or what?
Edit: Geez, I've already found a much better price from a reputable store online

Go with the best price...especially if it's from a reputable site online that you know you can trust.

I just found out my roommate got his rims from the site I was looking at, so I'll probably go with them

heh, sure, nothing special.. tires.com
Dont know how their prices are for other wheels, but for these Enkei's they have the best price I've found. Like I said my roommate dealt with them recently, so I know how they do business
