im selling my rims and tires for 575, some guy pmed me and offered 640shipped to illinois i would obv like to get rid of them, but how much does it usually cost to ship rims? the tires are already mounted on the rims, so im guessing they are about 20-25lbs each seperate boxes would be best right? i can prob get them easy im basically looking to see how much it would cost/how much to charge thanks ---

Put 2 face to face with a piece of cardboard in between them and pieces of cardboard on the outside, strap them together. No need for boxes. ---

No need for boxes. would this be better than shipping one at a time? i know that DTD does this method, with tires atleast, ive never ordered wheels from them my rotas came in a box when i got them from innovative edit: do you know where i could get those packaging straps? ---

That is how tirerack ships new wheels mounted on tires. You will want to strap them properly though. A strapping machine would be nice in this case! ---

If you ship them separately they’re going to get damaged, you want to put them face to face to protect them. ---

can’t be over 70lbs, so you’re going to have to ship them by the each instead of face to face, use cardboard and strapping tape over the faces. ---

> [@Spam16v](#): > > can’t be over 70lbs, so you’re going to have to ship them by the each instead of face to face, use cardboard and strapping tape over the faces. so with him saying they are 25 pounds you can do 2 + 2. 25+25=50 not over your 70
