Just protect the face of the wheels… the rest can handle a beating. I used DHL and they were cheap, like 15 a wheel. I am not sure if they are around anymore though… ---

Try Greyhound for shipping them. You put them on a bus so maybe you wont really need packaging. ---

I ordered 4 brand new rally wheels for the WRX, shipped from Cali to NY and the total was under $70, UPS. Transit time was less than 4 days. the problem with banding wheels/tires for UPS shipment is you can sometimes get nailed with a surcharge for odd packaging. I use forward air for anything big. ---

I just shipped out my 18’s the other day. Fedex is cheaper then ups for sure. Total cost to me was $200. This included $60 for boxes and shipping supplies. I shipped 4 18’s with rubber and one spare wheel with no rubber from here to atlanta, ga. Fedex’s charge was $140. I’d much rather have sold them local, but what can ya do? Have fun man, such a pain. ---
