Default How do I ship my wheels and tires?

I am trying to sell my wheels right now, but I have no idea where to get boxes big enough to fit my 18's with tires on them.

Any ideas from people that have sold wheels before?

I sold rims/tires on Ebay. I cut cardboard and taped it to the face and the backside of the rim. I shipped FedEx, roughly $24 per wheel (across country, FL to CA)

^^^^^ What he said. I found four boxes that were bigger than what I wanted them to be and I cut them down to size. They weren't the prettiest but with some tape they held up just fine. Fedex will also be cheaper than UPS.

Get 2 squares of cardboard and grab two of the wheels. Put the two wheels on top of each other with the outside of the two wheels together with the cardboard between them and ceran wrap the **** out of them. Then just repeat for the other 2. I did the same thing on a set of wheels and tires and they made it from Ky, to AZ.

I said "screw it" and went to Pak Mail. They took care of everything - packaging included. All I did was pull the tires and wheels off and dropped them off.

tirerack style! cardboard circle on either side, labeled, round and round w/ clear heavy duty tape -y'r dun! $$25ish each at the post office -I've shipped at least a dozen sets of wheels and they're always within $5 of that.

Like he said but, I got a roll of stretch wrap from work and wrapped the heck out of them. Made it there perfectly.

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I am going to go with the cardboard circle method, should work just fine.
