Default advice on shipping wheels/tires??

I need to ship a set wheels with tires and I'm trying to figure out the best way to package these suckers up. Any advice?

get strong tape (the kind with the strings running through it)
tape them together in pairs.
call freight company of choice.

Don't take them to mail boxes etc......they rape you up the ass......do like Leonard said........get some strapping tape and put them together in pairs of two........then take em to like Fedex Ground shipping.

Find a UHAUL place and pick up a couple boxes. There is a medium size box that fits two 15inch wheels inside quite nicely.

Nevermind...with tires probably just strap two together with that plastic shit. Make sure to stack them with the faces on the inside, separated by a piece of cardboard so they won't get scratched up in shipping.
