Online wheels and tires

Interested in new 24inch wheels and online prices are definitely less than local prices, anyone ever bought online wheels and tires? Good or bad experiences?

I bought my wheels and tires from discounttiredirect.com online. They were delivered to my door mounted and balanced.

Just to clarify Wheel = Rim + Tire. Unless you buy a Michelin Tweel, all one piece. http://www.michelintweel.com/

EDIT: I see they haven't released the line of automotive tweels yet. Oh well it's not far off I suspect.

24" is a small tire, I had a 10 speed bike with 26" tires. 24" rim is a big rim.

I got my wheels and tires off of EBAY for my F-150, Ebay for my infiniti, and Ebay for my Acura (several times). To be quite honest I have never purchased wheels from a store unless I was replacing a bent or cracked wheel. Never had an issue.

Rim = the object you mount a tire on.
Tire = the object that you mount on a rim.
Wheel = The combined devices that supports the vehicle it is mounted on.

Any questions?
