One thing to take into consideration when shipping wheels is that you definitely need to get boxes that fit the wheels very snugly. Otherwise the wheels can get damaged easily during transit due to the lack of care that the shippers use with packages. Make sure to insure them on the high side just in case.

BEST way to ship rims with Tires Cheap;
Get some 36" Zip Ties (Or Two 24"s)
Take Cardboard and trim it to the same diameter as the wheel
Put bubble wrap on the face of each wheel and sandwich the cardboard
between two of them, face to face.
Using 4 Wraps on each "Corner", Bind the wheels together tightly (They will NOT come apart). Put some cardboard on each side and tape on with Fiber tape.
You now have two "Bundles" that weigh between 60-80lbs depending on wheel tire and are approx 24x24x20, Perfect Size to go out via DHL, UPS or Fedex.
I usually Use DHL for Heavy stuff, they seem to be the cheapest. They can give you an instant quote on their site.
