where to buy 0 gauge crimp-on ring terminals

I only found some at Circuit City- 5 for $20
What places do you know of that can beat that price? Cuz that price seems kinda steep(or is that just me?). Anything good online? I keep searching ebay, but Circuit City comes out as the better buy. This is for a grounding kit I am going to make, as I have 8 feet of 0 gauge wire.

Don't know about crimped connectors but making soldered ones is prety easy. All you need is a small blowtorch some solder a little bit of flux some heat shrink tubing and the right size lugs. Basically you clamp the lug into something that isn't going to burn heat the lug, put some flux on to clean the lug then melt some solder into the lug. Remove heat insert wire and hold for 30 seconds. your done.

Had to do this on my alternator for the Bronco. 160 amps doesn't flow right through 10 ga wire.

I bought a bag of like 20 pieces with boots for something like $6 off of ebay last time I needed them.

We found that when using them, that, using stinger 1/0 wire vs raptor 1/0 wire, there is a difference in size, I had read somewhere that stinger uses over sized wiring, not sure if its true, but, we did open up the 1/0 crimps and they worked fine

Walmart and autzone has them. I know autoze is 2.99 for a pair. And I'm not sure about walmart. I did the same thing, made my own grounding kit.

You can also go to the battery section of a parts store and get copper lugs, those you can heat up, put solder in, and slide a stripped end of the wire into it.

Here are a few off the bay....
