Default How to ship rims???

I have an old set of 19'' rims off my old 3000GT that I am in the process of selling. I had an offer on them and accepted, now I just have to figure out a way to ship them. I never shipped something that large before, and don't even have boxes that large to fit them in. Any preference on shipping company and what is the expected shipping rate? The rims are going from PA to OH, so not too too far. Thanks in advance!

I cut off a round piece of cardboard and tape the cardboard onto the wheels(I put bubble wrap in between the cardboard/wheel to protect it) and send it off like that.

Not sure if that made sense?

USPS snail mail ships cheap as hell ~30 per wheel/tire. Fed ex ups etc usually runs about 50 from what i've seen. But your going a pretty damn short distance so it should be fairly cheap.

$30 per wheel/tire is not bad at all!

Anyone else have any reccomendations?

Card board and bubble wrap +1.

I work for Fedex and get a lot of wheel in flimsy boxes or with just cardboard over the rim.

BTW did you have a VR4? I owned a 3000gt before I got my Forumla.

No I had an N/A...I was going to buy a VR4, then got an LS1 instead.
