How or where do you replace the tires if bought online?
 
So I think normally you could buy tires at a cheaper price if you buy them online... However, how do you get them installed?

I never buy tires online. Most places like America's Tires will match online prices and in some cases offer lower pricing. I bought RE-11 rear tires a few months ago for much less at America's Tires then the cheapest price found online.
And make sure they use touchless tire mounting to avoid causing any scratches on your wheels.

Tire Rack has approved installers, you can ship directly to the shop. check their site locater.

i would HIGHLY recommend you check that the installer has a non-touch mounter. otherwise they will scratch the hell out of your wheels.

more and more main stream tire shops have them these days, also wheel repair places can mount/balance tires without scratching them, some speed shops have them, etc.

Since your in WA, I personally use Tight-n-Tidy Racing - Wheel/Tire Services

They dont have a touchless system but Karl does some awesome work, 4 wheel sets and no scratches at all

take it to somewhere that cares about ur rims. Get a shop manager to walk around the car first and check the rims before they touched it. Ask them to get the best guy on the job. Bring a camera and take lots of pictures of the wheels they gonna be working on right in front of them so this way they know you have pictures just in case. When they are done make sure u check the rims very good. Clean all the dirt off and check inside and outside. Check around the wheel weight balance also. If you see any marks tell the manager right away! Don't leave the shop! If they mess up ur rims rise hell and tell them you want a NEW SET!!!
