Yeah I’ve shipped over 10 sets of wheels using the first method. It’s why I personally prefer to ship with tires because it’s the easiest/safest. If you wrap the wheel/tire combos in pairs instead of singles though it can be a bit cheaper to ship. Do it the same way as shown and then shrink wrap them together in pairs ---

Who’s the cheapest? I always found UPS to beat Fedex rate on wheels. ---

Depends on who you know and the weight, UPS and Fedex rates don’t change for what your shipping, you pay whichever is higher, the actual weight or dimensional weight. At my last job I used to ship personal stuff through UPS because I only had to pay the company rate which was like 60% off standard pricing for any person going to a UPS store. If your total weight gets over 100lbs then looking into freight companies can become cheaper then small package companies like UPS and Fedex (there freight service prices are ridiculous). ---
