anyone ever do this? i may have sold my wheels and the guy is in SC. about how much and who is best to do so? UPS,, fed EX etc

Best bet's to use the round cardboard thingies that Tire Rack ships their wheels with. Then again, it'll be a bit more involved if the wheels aren't wrapped with tires.

As far as the service, I've found that FedEx Ground is the least expensive courier to use.

i shipped ups from my business from NC to PA for about 45 bucks for mounted tires w/ wheels

UPS charges a $5 surcharge for each non-boxed package.

Cut cardboard to cover the wheel face, tape, ship.

Yep, just cover the wheel portion with cardboard and ship. Fedex Ground is definitely cheaper for wheels/tires.

Yes. Don't use UPS. Use FedEx ground. Max weight I believe is 70lbs per package, so you'll probably have to ship them individually. It's not as expensive as you might think.

not true, 70 lb is limit until you put a sticker on it saying its over 70lb... if you ship them ups ship in 4 different boxes but still ship them together as one unit 4 parts and you get a discount for the shipment being over 100 lbs...

FedEx told me 70lbs was the limit for residential delivery shipments. :dunno
