    Does anybody know the cheapest way to ship 4 mounted wheels and tires? I called UPS and they quoted me 200 dollars. Is there a fedex around south hills area?

    +1 I shipped my stock seats to Virginia using Greyhound for I believe like $80. It's been a while so I can't remember the exact amount. At the time there was a Greyhound terminal next to the jail downtown, they moved it to somewhere else downtown though I believe.

    The Post office will ship them. They are probably the cheapest too. I have shipped mounted wheels through them in the past.

    Take some cardboard and cut out (4) 22" dia circles and zip tie them to the face of your wheels....wrap the zip tie around the spokes of the wheel to secure the cardboard to the face of the wheel....and that's it.

    I would actually cut out (8) circles and double up on the cardboard.

    I do this except I wrap them with plasic wrap from Office Depot instead of using zip ties.
