Yup its pretty sad when I can save well over $1000 on a set of tires and rims coming from that far away.
I ordered 5 sets of tires and rims (that's 15 35" Pitbull tires and 15 - 17" wheels) and the shipping only cost me $200 to the local border store. Thats Texas to Minnesota. I tried to order 4 rims from BC for my wife's minivan and they wanted $154 to ship from BC to Ontario..
The tire shops in Canada can't/won't compete so they don't get my money. As much as I would like to buy Canadian, that is just to much difference in cost for me to swallow..

35x12.50x17 Pitbull Rocker Radials $360ea (in Canada $500 ea)
17x8 Blackrock Vipers $136ea (in Canada $245 ea)

I just fired them an email asking for a quote for the five rims and tires sent to Ottawa. I can get the rims here for $189.99 + $15 freight each, which didnt seem to bad, but we'll see what they say.

Thats not bad. Is that from a local distributor in Ottawa? I can get other parts at a decent price from Nation Tire and 4x4 but tires and wheels, not.
If you are just ordering a set of wheels RCO usually has free shipping within the continental US..

Ah, i asked for a quote to Ottawa, I guess I should have asked about NY, i could drive and pick them up at the ups store there. I'm 40 minutes from the border.

Definitely do that.. Sometimes you get hit with brokerage fees if its delivered into Canada..
