Default splittingimagez.com.....shady???

well this is concerning my ITR rims so i decided to post it here

im in the market for some new tires.....i was looking into falken azenis

so i went to http://www.splittingimagez.com and i see that they have those tires priced at 55.25 per tire for 205/50/15

205/50R 15 85V $55.25
http://splittingimagez.com/tiresfalken.htm

i go to http://www.groupbuycenter.com and i see a groupbuy from http://www.splittingimagez.com, they have it priced at 73 bucks....but hey, free shipping
205/50R 15 85V $73.00

http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.aspx?id=9064

i thought that was kind of shady of them charging you 20 bucks extra per tire and pretend saying that its free shipping.....when your really paying 20 bucks extra for the shipping

the name says it all. Never trust any shop that uses a "z" instead of an "s"

generally it's a given rule NOT to buy anything from a store that spells things with "z"'s.

Actually, from what I've heard, they have pretty good customer service. They stayed an hour later so my friend could make it to pick up some tires.

That says something. As for their online presence, well, I don't really know that much.

Splitting Imagez treated me pretty good.

Despite the, "AY, do you want to buy a turbo?!" inquiry by one of the workers, they were just fine during my visit there.
