Why not just have Discount Tire match TireRack's price and get it all taken care of through them? You'll end up paying a lot less for the install, will get free lifetime servicing and a prorated road hazard warranty all included too.

If you go to Discounttiredirect you will get free shipping and depending on which state you live in, no tax. Its just the sister company of discount tire. I've ordered tires 3 times in the last year from that site and saved quite a bit.

Guys I've been dealing with Discount Tires today, as my wife hit a curb and cracked the OEM wheel on our front passenger side, this was found because her tire was flat and low and wouldn't stay filled with air.

Anyway, we ended up buying the 4 new Continental 235/45ZR17 tires, and 4 new MB Five X, 17x7 wheels. I like the simple 5 spoke look, this was close to the OEM 5 spokes I have.

Well, after driving it over to an alignment place, to have it all aligned, I noticed they were not as wide as the OME tires/wheels. Turns out these are 17x7 wheels, and my OEMs are 17x8.

So now I'm all bugged and want to find a tire and wheel that is closer to the look of my original OEM look. But the Acura dealership wants $330 for the ONE wheel to replace the cracked one. Thats almost what I paid for the 4 new MBs.

I like dealing with Discount Tires for the reason you all mentioned above and they are super nice guys. I just can't find a wheel I really like there, and I'm not sure about these tires either, right now I feel I spent $1000 on crap...

Is there any wheel that looks like my OEM that is 17x8? Is that tire I have good?
