^^:word: just cover the face of the rims, wrap them in a garbage bag and tape. And ship them USPS. Should cost about $15/rim I’ve done this many times. Theres nothing a Postal worker can do to them that would damage them any more than driving on them. Just make sure the face of the rims are covered with something like I said. ---

Ship by Greyhound or whatever…I think it is like a dollar a pound but don’t quote me. I shipped a whole system set-up for pretty cheap. ---

at a dollar per pound, hes looking at well over $100. I can typically ship a set of 4 rims with tires mounted (depending on size and where they are going) for anywhere between $35 and $50 all day long…for all 4.
