Buying wheels/tires online
TireRack.com
But that was back in the day when I was driving my Ford Probe (may it rest in peace). The selection is lacking for the G-Coupe, Last time I checked there were 4 sets and one of them was for snow. I'd like to hear some site too.

I bought Avon Tech MS550 all season tires for my 03 sedan from tire rack. I had them shipped to the dealer and mounted and balanced. So far so good after 2500 miles. They are much better in rain than the stock Turanzas they replaced.
i basically got all my sets from tirerack less the pos ADR i got locally
for my old Protege5 years ago. was a friend's shop so wanted to
help him out.
ive never had one out of balance wheel set from tirerack. over the
years i bought over 8 sets from them mostly SSR's.

www.edgeracing.com (bought my last set of wheels/tires for my Mini Cooper here but not finding anything that floats my boat for the G. Great service and nice guys to deal with.
www.wheelmax.com - lots-o-bling

good prices, fast delivery, knowledgeable people, informative website, and good installer referrals.

Just as good as Tire Rack.
an FYI... I use Discount Tire mainly because they don't have a warehouse in my state where as Tire Rack does. This means I can avoid the taxes (initially, of course). When tax time rolls around I inform my state of all items bought online and pay a one lump sum
I am also trying to find some online sponsors that may be able to provide tires at comparable prices.
Check the marketplace for wheel offers from site sponsors.

but dont discounttires charge for the lugs or something?
i remember seeing some "installation kit" or something...
tirerack will give you high quality lugs for free along with
centering rings, high quality metal valve stems, caps,
lug adapters, perfect balance each time, and a piece of mind.

good luck to you if you plan to buy from there. if you buy
like the Enkei's PIAA's and other higher end wheels, im sure
you'll be fine though...its when you buy pos wheels like ADR, etc.
you tend to get a bad wheel of wobbly poor balance, etc.
Bought Enkei RP02's from EdgeRacing back when they were $500/set. No issues.
Bought Volk sf-challenge's from F1. One wheel was damaged in shipment but Chris was prompt about shipping a replacement. Good service.
Tires from Tirerack. RE050A's were on closeout. $141 for 245/35R19's. No issues.
