need rim/tire referral, travelling to florida

[pacemkr]

Hey folks,

some family members will be travelling to florida this winter, and i would love to have them pick up a set of rota rbr's and tires for me while they are there. cocoa beach area, but can travel a short distance without issue.

as tires and rims are MUCH cheaper in US than in canada (where im at), i would love a referal to a retailer in the area if possible.

thanks for any info.

Tom

When I lived out west I used Discount Tire they always had the best deal, and they are in Florida. Price shop a little before you go in they will barter to get your business. What I'd do is come when it's slow and the staff isn't overly busy, try to get the sales manager to help you talk a little about how great your car is and what your plans are with the wheels, look at the options, tell him you were looking at other tire companies, but don't tell him which ones (he knows their price), once you got what you want ask for a price. Next if you like the price ask for a little off you more than likely get it, other wise kind of start to shy off and ask if we could come up with a better price explaining that it is higher than you expect, then he will do some checking ushally and get you a much better price if he can
