Sup guys, for those of you who sold rims and shipped them, where did you get boxes big enough for them? I tried going to Big O Tires, but they didn't have anything big enough for the rims+tires for me. I need to sell my rims on ebay sometime. Thanks!

cover the sides (rim face and back), with flat cardboard, and tape up the whole thing

Just put them gigantic padded envelopes. LOL. Seriously though, just look around. Try some other tire shops. Make sure to use like a million rolls of packing tape too.

Good luck!

Look in the phone book under "packaging." You'll find everything you need there.

this is IMO the best way to do it.

the cardboard protects the wheel itself

the rubber can take care of itself.

wrap it all up with plastic garbage bags or something similar, and then tape the living shit out of it.
