I was looking for new rims and tires, managed to find a web site called 
www.rims-n-tires.com that had what I wanted.  Turns out they were based in 
San Jose, so I emailed them to see if I could get a better deal in person. 
They referred me to their store "1000 rims" at 970 Blossom Hill road in San 
Jose.  Turns out the place is actually called "Skip's Tire" and is also 
registered as "Blossom Hill Goodyear"...  The need for so many names becomes 
apparent shortly.

I went down there and the manager, Pat, offered me a deal at about $60 less 
than their internet price, not really that low, but probably worth the 
convenience.  Five days later the parts arrived, I went down and had 
everything mounted and installed.  Everything was great, until I got the 
final bill, $120 more than the agreed price!!!  The aforementioned crook 
completely denied having offered the discount and decided to charge me MORE 
than their original internet price.  Strange position, as they had the 
wheels mounted and had my truck in their possession, not wanting to start a 
fight with the Aryan Brotherhood, I reluctantly signed the paperwork and 
left.

I should have smelled something was wrong while waiting for my car.  They 
would not write any prices down for another customer and acted somewhat 
strangely.  The whole thing seems rather stupid, they cheated me for the 
price of a tank of gas, while losing a few thousand in my business over the 
next n years.  Most businesses are run honestly, not because they are weak 
or stupid, but because they will make more money that way.  Oh well, just 
avoid these crooks--I suspect they will be registering under another name 
soon enough.
