Default shipping wheels

Hey guys. What is the best way to ship rims? I will be shipping my Blitz Z2s back down to FL to get minor curb rash taken out and I am about to get a Supra TT and would like to get the rash out before I mount them on the Supra. I don't have enough room to lug them ion the Supra so I must ship them. Should I take them to FedEx, UPS, etc. and just let them ship them or what? I will package them myself (what should I use for padding?) but who should I get to do the shipping. Thanks.

D...try to see if you can double box or make sure there are enough cardboards inside..can never never be too careful..i usually get UPS to pick them up from my place, since i do not ahve a pick up to drop them off at the counter. each wheel is ~30-40 dollars, depends on shipping dest

thanks a lot. Didn't even think about double boxing. Also, I will be shipping the wheels with the tires mounted on them. Should i deflate the tires or do anything with them so they are protected? I'm thinking the tires will add a lil more protection.

i see..well, you need more heavy duty packing stuf, with tyres mounted on..unless you can finda BIG box, do this,

cut out cardboards, buy bubble wraps and place layers on top of one another..strap them
