What's the best way to ship rims?

What do you guys think would be the best way to ship rims? I'm shipping 4 18" rims and thinking of using a box and put 2 in 1 box and the other 2 in another along with bubble wrap. Is this a good idea?

When I shipped my wheels I got some boxes from the UPS Store that were 25x25x25 and I put one per box. I also put each wheel/tire in a garbage bag and also had cardboard cut outs for the wheel faces. I think to save money you should just put each wheel in a garbage bag and stuff it with newspaper instead of bubble wrap. Unless you can get some wrap for cheap.

Careful...bare cardboard like that can be very abbrasive to the finish.

I used to work in a furniture warehouse and everything that was put on a truck never had cardboard touching the wood finish. It was always wrapped in plastic sheeting.
