I am ordering a set of 4 steel wheels for my '06 MCS.
So I know that MoS has wheels and DCMM discount, but thought it would be easier to pickup from tate since I am in MD. (and tirerack doesnt have rims for late 06s)

To my surprise, he quotes me $69.25 a piece, so I ask about a discount, he says they acknowledge the DCMM discount..brings it to $62.33 a piece..

Well.. MoS. sells their steel wheels at about $55 a piece and with DCMM discount at $50.02..

the exact same part, they both have to order from the same warehouse and that much discrepency per wheel?

Are they always like that?

Not to pick on tate, I mean I Havent been so happy with MoS in recent days (no more free coffee? :P not finishing items on list..)

But still love the car, and at least some friendly faces around.. :D

 

All the dealerships have different prices. It depends on what you get.

 

I don't know if it's cheaper, but try Towson.

Other than their excellent customer service...........
Good coffee, Panera's bagels, nice big screen TV and comfortable sofas, and computers to check NAM forum.

 

Morristown MINI - Their on-line order is great- Fast shipping and best prices.

 

+1,

 

for just plain steelies, you could also try Tire Rack...dunno if they're cheaper, but it's where I got mine eons ago.

 

Thanks!
Tire rack unfortunately doesnt carry steelies for late build 06's...
I checked all the other brands, so far gotta get from the dealer..

I Wish MoS would call their customers if their are delays though... i check again to see if everything was shipped,and now they tell me no cause of a backorder and release date is the 17th?!?!? so available wed Dec 19th...

Calling towson when they open at 9...

hmm and if that takes long, i should call morristown..
thanks again

after this last batch of snow, i seriously need new tires, they dont grip like they did last winter...

 

You might try Discount Tire online.

Is it a matter of the lug diameter?

 

Always pick Tate last when it comes to *anything* Mini related...
