I need to ship a set of wheels/tires… and i am just going to put cardboard/towels in between the 2 wheel faces and put them towards each other, and then just strap the pairs of wheels together… But where can i get the shipping straps to do this? whenever i have shipped tires in pairs ive always just used tape to hold them together, but i dont think tape will work with a wheel/tire combo… ---

Just use tape, that is what I’ve always used when I’ve done the same thing. ULine carries that stuff though. ---

What kind of tape did you use? Just lots of duct tape? I don’t feel that packing tape would cut it… WTF is u line ? ---

typically wheels are saran wrapped together (with the card board in the middle) if they arent boxed. get insurance and a roll of decent saran wrap. maybe some clear packing tape to hold the loose edge down. I once shipped a 240sx HUD dashboard someplace wrapped in nothing but saran wrap through usps … ---

how much are the two tires together? (weight?) if theyre over 25lbs(50 per pair) each its probably going to be 150$ + to ship, because its an irregular package, and its heavy as fuck My rims n tires that i shipped ended up being 185$, but i had to buy boxes… and i also had to ship to Wahington St :bloated:… and i put insurance on them and mine were only 16" rotas with tires ---
