I would ship through DHL or greyhound because they are the cheapest. I usually ship greyhound cause they are dirt cheap and the stuff gets there in a few days max. I bet you could ship all 4 wheels and all for 75-100 through either place. We got a quote to ship stock wheels for $78 from greyhound and $89 through dhl. Hope this helps a little
