I liked www.whalentire.com. They're based out of Montana.

I ordered 17-inch subzeros w/ tires for $975, if I remember correctly. Aside from the fact that they took a month to get here (they were backordered at the time), everything else went smoothly. They also came mounted and balanced.

if you didnt know at wheelmax.com you get free shipping with a tire and wheel combo. Im not sure with every combo, but mine applied. You really cant beat that at all. plus they come balanced

Oops, I guess I should be more specific. I bought the Konig equivalent of the Rota Subzero, took off the Konig stickers, and bought some Rota centercaps. (They are the same wheel, made by the same manufacturer) I don't remember the name of them, and by looking at the website, I see that they don't have them anymore. Huh!? Ah well, sorry dude.

I guess that the 209/wheel price is too much for you then?
