i had a friend who bought 4 tires mounted on wheels from some online tirestore. as long as you "package them individually" UPS will ship them if there under 60 lbs each..

Guys this is not that complicated. Think about it, they are WHEELS! Why would you put them on another set of wheels to get them somewhere? Lets not re-invent the wheel, just roll them.

Haha point it in the right direction and push!

Yea my friend just bought wheels online and they were 4 individual boxes, like 23lbs. each, 150 for shipping on all 4 from west coast to east.

yea i ordered some for my mom via tire rack and just ship individually, shipping was free :) but would have just been about $60 had i payed for it.

they just tape the lips and put carboard strip arround it with some zip ties and its good to go.

they shouldnt weigh 150lbs total, i went to ship my sawblades with tires on and full of air, and UPS was only going to charge me $34 per rim & tire, just take it to UPS and have them measure and give u an estimate
