    Best way to package wheels?

    What's the best way to package 4 bottlecaps for shipping? Anybody know how much they weigh each?

    ~16 lbs each. When I received my wheels, there was circular cardboard sheets on each side of each wheel, and a crap load of tape.

      a layer of bubble wrap over the face of the wheel is a good idea too. around the the outside of the rim to protect the lip is another idea

        Where would I find boxes to put them in? Or just put cardboard and bubble around them?

          If you want, I can send the boxes that I got my wheels in. But, kinda pointless to send empty boxes, huh?

          Just start askin around, try some big stores or something for boxes.

            Andy (tobybmw) sent my rims in 2 separate boxes. Each rim was stack on another with a piece of cardboard in between them. I recieved them along with spacers and lug bolts harm free. He shipped UPS ground i beleive.

              For just rims goto local wheel shop and get boxes made for rims.

                  All of them fit in one?

                  I think FedEx Ground only accepts packages up to 75 lbs. Hopefully I can fit them all in one.
