I have to ship out a set of wheels to NC. Where is the best place to have them shipped. They’re rims and tires so I don’t know if I should ship them freight. Any info is appreciated. ---

Anywhere really. Especially if you have an online account. If you do the post office, you will need to ship them seperately and it usually costs abotu $15/wheel+tire. ---

FedEX. Just place cardboard circles on the outside edges of the rims, it works great. ---

I just bought some wheels/tires from tirerack, and they put cardboard caps over the wheels, and they use a strapping machine to put straps on, then they tape the tag to it. Mine came UPS, I paid 74 dollars to ship 4 wheels, I’m sure they marked that up a bit for materials and time. If you don’t have access to a strapping machine, you can use the belt type straps…
