I shipped my stock 2003 wheels & tires from PA to Phoenix, Az. for around 120-dollars total using Fed-EX Ground.

Shawn's packing job is great.

Just remember to put something soft between the wheel and the cardboard. The cardboard can scratch the clearcoat on the wheel.

UPS Ground is probably the best way and the cheapest. Should be any more than $15 to $20 tire. They should go separately and you can box them up with cardboard anyway you like since the tire is pretty much indestructable. I think the Rack will ship them bundled in 4's w/o any covering whatsoever.

For some reason UPS would have been MORE money.
I took ONE tire/wheel package to both places to get estimates for the buyer and UPS wanted to put (2) in one box.
Each box would have cost about 85-dollars to ship.

I had some of the protective plastic & bubble paper from my 18’s and used that between the wheel face and cardboard.
They arrived safe & sound in about 5-days. The buyer was happy.
