I really wish more people understood how markups and profits work.
$337 for a set of wheels is a ridiculous price... markup at that point is probably 10 - 20% at most. 20% of $337 is a bit over $60 bucks.
Shipping to me came out to $70 (that's cheap to ship 4 wheels). If they ship for free they lose money... not the smartest business decision.
Also, there is no such thing as "free shipping", the shipper pays that out of pocket when the margins are big enough.
Small margin, you pay shipping...
Large margin = free shipping, you pay shipping... you just don't know you did.
If $400.00 is too expensive for you then wheel shopping shouldn't be at the top of your to do list anyway...
