Get an online acct with UPS. I did it, printed my own labels and it was $60 to ship 4 wheels to Colorado ---

There is no way that it costs $75 to ship a single wheel/tire to PA. I just ran a quote for a 75lb pair of cylinder heads to TX and it was $6x.xx ---

Looks like the closest bus terminal is Allentown, PA which is about 5 miles from Bethlehem. It really looks like you’ll only save a few bucks to ship them that way. I don’t know the exact weight, but with tires I was thinking around 25lbs each? If you combined them into 2x 50lb packages you could get away with about 65 through greyhound. ---

Yea, $75 isn’t bad. It cost me $81 to ship four wheels in separate boxes to southern NJ through my FedEx account and it was insured to $1000/box. I just got a quote through UPS to ship similar sized boxes and weights to Vancouver and it was just over $200. ---

If you combined them into 2x 50lb packages you could get away with about 65 through greyhound. I’d guess around 40-50lbs per wheel. One of my CE28N wheels weighs 16.8 lbs w/o packaging and the tire itself weighs 23 lbs. Those a both very light for the particular sizes. ---

75 is cheap! Damn it cost like $200+ for the guy to ship my works with tires up from Florida. Retarded heavy boxes. ---

Late but…$75 per wheel? That’s crazy. I have shipped 18" wheels and tires across America for $100 using UPS ground. And payed the same to get them from Seattle (my old 5Zigens I had on the Maxima). ---

I shipped 2 16" wheels (no tires) for less than $30 thru Parcel Post Plus on Nott Street in Niskayuna. I believe they went thru DHL but they also do Fed Ex and UPS shipping. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anybody-here-ever-ship-wheels/254926.md?page=2)
