First, your signature is not showing up. It says you are "Anonymous", so I don't know where you are located.

TTII's are made by American Racing. Sears is an AR dealer. I got a pretty good deal there. But you can go on the American Racing web site where they have a dealer locator, and key in your zip code, and it will spit out locations closest to you.

Hope that helps.

Sorry... that was my post. I thought i was logged in when i posted it. Anywayz, i'm located in the Bay Area of Cali. Before you purchased from Sears did you compare prices with other places first? How much better of a deal did u get from Sears? Did you have to buy tires too to get a better deal? I'm not looking to get new tires coz i just got some Nitto 555Rs for my stocks so i'm just gonna throw those on the TT2s. Sorry so many questions. Oh yeah, do most people on here get the high polished finish or the chromes? I'm thinking of going with the polished to save money, but only if it's a real good quality finish. Thanx for the help!!!

Sounds like you should get a pretty good deal from the last post, but I did check a number of other dealers in my area, and Sears was about $20 a wheel less. I wish I had known that American Tire sold them for $245, cause that's about $40 a wheel less than I paid. I don't know if Sears gives a better deal with tires, cause I already had tires as well. I got the polished ones not the chrome ones, cause I had the centers powder coated metallic gun metal silver. In fact I am picking them up from the "bakery" today. The finish seemed great on the polished one, and I wouldn't get the chrome ones unless you have a lot of other chrome stuff on your car you are trying to match. just my .02

Hope you can get a deal on those ones from the previous post, that would be sweet for you.

Good luck, and post pics when they're on your car.
