Default Where can I get the best deal on NT05s?

Usually I don't have to ask where to get car parts since I have many connections, but this is one time I do. I'm ordering Nitto NT05s for the bimmer & Tire Rack (I get a discount) nor my main local shop (I pay cost w/no mark up w/free mount & balance) can get the Nittos. So, I'm out sourcing. I believe Discount Tire may have the best deal, but if any of you know of somewhere I can get them cheaper -- Speak Up!

I plan on ordering them next week or the following week when my wheels go to be powder coated.

My tire sizes are:
front: 235/45ZR17
rear: 255/40ZR17

Discount Tire has these posted:
Size --------------------- Price

17"
235/40ZR17 90W B --- $139.00 ea
255/40ZR17 XL 98W B $154.00 ea

Nitto are real popular with mustangs, I would sugest picking up a mustang mag. and flip through it some mustags parts supliers sometimes have really good deals on tires and rims.

Send an AIM mesage to DriftLineUSA. We got our Genesis NT05s from him for a good price.

update: my tires are on the way. Got them at TireTeam.com since they were able to beat Discount tire by almost $100/set. Total cost shipping & all $527.33 for a set of Nitto NT05s (front 235/40ZR17, rear 255/40ZR17)

BTW: wheels were dropped off Monday at Columbus Powder Coating

Finally got wheels back from powder coating & installed new NT05s. The tires feel more sure footed if that makes any sense. I've only had them on one day, so haven't had much time to give a good review, but I will once I get a little more time on them.

Wheels look evil the color gray I chose & will not be favorable to alot of people's taste. Put it this way, it no longer looks quite like a luxury car. I may have over done it having the lugs powder coated too, but they were starting to show signs of rust, oh well.

BTW pics are soon to come, just got a couple more cosmetics I want to do B4 photo shoot.
