Default shipping wheels...need info

can you guys give me some direction in the cheapest most efficient method of shipping 4 wheels out of state?


not sure how to go about it and whats required....need to get these moved.

is UPS the way to go? what should i expect to pay for shipping. wheels are 19x9 and 19x10.5 with 255/35 and 275/35 tires. pretty heavy but not sure on exact weight...

thanks in advanced guys!

UPS can do it..its going to be expensive if you have them pack it. The cheapest way to ship it would be USPS or DHL but if you dont want to hassle packing it go to UPS.

You might want to just sell the tires and just ship the wheels.

USPS is also expensive, I would look for some smaller shipping company. UPS is actually decent with a daily pickup account, or you can try bax global or dls.

Nope, it's 60-100 for all 4. I shipped my 19s once via UPS Ground and cost me about $100. It was last year. For packaging, you can go with home made cardboard (make sure they are thick enough) to cover the wheels and strap them afterwards.
