I just shipped out 4 wheels and tires, 145lbs in one TV box from your local Uhaul. I usually seperate the box's since its easier, plus 150lbs is the limit at UPS, FedEx, etc.

I went to UPS with that box and they wanted 148$!!!! So I went to FedEx and they shipped it insured for 400$ for 66$.

Make sure you goto the actuall UPS Hub, the little UPS Shops charge a rediculious fee for packing and shipping.

USPS is cheap as hell, but I think its extra for tracking (small ass fee still). NOW....are these with tires? Cause I went to UPS store and packing was $40 while shipping was $45 to the other side of the country. They would box two rims in one 20x20 box and ship both boxes at the same time. NOTE: The rims are 17x7.5...NO TIRES.

Through my experience, Fedex. If I remember correctly, I shipped a PAIR of 17x8 wheels with 235/45/17 tires on them for $35( insurance $900.)
