all you need to do is get two pieces of cardboard big enough to cover the wheel... put one piece on each side, and use packing tape, start across and slowly work your way all around, leaving no more than 3-4" gap between tape... when done, the wheel should be entirely enclosed, and the cardboard shouldn't move around... as far as cost... $30-$50 per unit depending where it's going and size...

That's just how I wrapped my OEM 17's except I also wrapped each wheel/tire in shrink wrap, plus I bubble wrapped each spoke just for extra protection. It was $50 per package to ship from Arizona to Illinois.
