Default I bought some stock V wheels/tires... whats the cheapest way to ship them?

Just bought a set. Trying to figure out shipping cost on them.

I am told the weight will be around 54 lbs each with dimensions of 26" x 9" x 26".

What is the cheapest way to ship the set?

I quoted with fedex ground and the automated calculation came out pretty close to $200. Was hoping it would be cheaper than that to ship them!! Seems steep!

I appreciate the help guys!!

A stock wheel and stock-sized GSD3 tire were 54.2 pounds on my scale.

I bought a different set from another member who PM'd me.

Any idea on the dimensions?

I guess i could just go off the tire size right?

Greyhound would be the cheapest if there are terminals by you & the seller.
