if they have tires on them...just cut out cardboard circles to cover the face of the wheels and leave the tires exposed

if they don't have tires...find the smallest square box that they fit in line the box with some popcorn or extra cardboard

dhl would probably be the cheapest

Just check man. Box them up, write down the dimensions & go to Fedex/UPS/DHL website & get a quote.

They do not have tires, FYI.


To those who have sent- how much was it roughly?

You can probably send 4 cross country for $60 or less. Send as 2 boxes. Fedex seems cheper than UPS, but like CJT says, check the websites. You could get boxes at a local tire/wheel store.

I just bought a set of MR BBS wheels and 2 of the 4 came in wheel boxes and the other 2 came in computer panel monitor boxes. If you ship them with tires not in boxes make sure you put a sheet of something soft between the wheel face and cardboard, i have seen too many wheels arrive with the finish damaged from the cardboard.
