I have some old rims sitting in my garage gathering dust (from previous cars) just wondering what the best way to ship them. Questions include, how to package (package them together in 1 big giant box?) Where would I get these boxes? Best rates of companies?

 

two big pieces of card board...

cut a circle around the face and back of the rim...

tie strap around that...

wrap in plastic...

ship...

add around $10 each wheel more then what the UPS price shows for the odd shape

 

4 boxes. UPS ground shipping.

 

I just shipped two rims (separately) without tires and it was $25/$30 each (one going to FL, the other to IL) via FedEx. Big box and lots of bubble wrap needed.

 

fedx ground...depends on weight about 35$/each (tires+rims)/individually wrapped w/card board and tapes.... took five days.

 

Don't do it ghetto, UPS/Fedex loves to play soccer and basketball with wheel boxes.

We box the wheel box IN a bigger box.

Wheels are wrapped in packing foam first, then put back in their wheel box.

Tons of peanuts in between the wheel box and the bigger box.

Just sending it in the original wheel box is not enough protection in our opinion. Better safe than sorry.

 

I thought the original question was WITH tires mounted...
