how to ship wheels?

well i am trying to buy some wheels from a guy in ca, and i am in tx. he went to ups and they said it would be 600 dollars to ship them, that is fing crazy. i was thinking like 250 to 300 dollars to ship them. so what do you think is the best way to ship theses wheels?

truck frieght, prob be 100 bux.

have him send them in four diffrent boxes i sold a set of 24" with tires and UPS send it would be $70 a box to send form here (MO) to atl, GA  so it would only e around $300

when i checked truck they said around $500 and it had to be on a pallet and wrapped up, then the guy would have to go to there place to pick them up

It was only $150 to get my 18s and tires from British Columbia to Ontario, across pretty much half the country.  And that was with UPS.  They had a piece of cardboard on each side, and the nylon straps wrapping each wheel individually.

Do UPS Ground, wrap up each rim/wheel you can get a price off there web site. What I did last time I shipped rims was go to NTB and ask them empty boxes. And when I shipped wheel & rim was put coardboard on each side of the rims and wrpped them  shrink wrap all the way around.got there save and did not Fup the rims at all.( I thing mark all your boxes 1of4 2of4 and so on makes better for tracking.

Have him go to FEDEX its cheaper.I sent a set of 22s to tennesse for 150 bucks.All I had to do was wrape them up and ship seperatly.ups is more expensive.Also if he has a mailboxit they are cheaper also

also if it is 300. if you have a 4cyl car you can drive there and back for that

what size wheels? I've shipped chrome 18s putting 2 in each box and it's around $80-100 to ship anywhere in the us from south FL.
