I have shipped rims all over the country. You can either try getting boxes from a wheel store or, depending on size, get 16", 17", etc. "cubes"; cardboard boxes that are the same size all the way around.

In boxes, with extra cardboard on front and back. Try to find used rim boxes.

A lot of the new wheel boxes are pretty thin and depending weight / size of wheel by the time wheel gets to final destination if shipping singularly by courier / not on one skid often found wheel edges broke thu thin cardbord damaging wheel .. so protect edges before boxing up if older / thicker boxes cant be found

They are currently a fortune to ship anymore if
you are not a business.

Try your local Fastenal. They do store to store shipments. Takes a little longer but pretty cheap!

Drop off at Fastenal and person has to pick up at the store.

He's shipping NH to CA; Fastenal won't ship East coast to West coast.:confused:

Since when? I shipped a block from CT to Oregon using Fastenal not too long ago. Boxed it up, strapped it on a pallet, and away it went.

Anytime I have shipped wheels they have had tires on them. Strapped them to a pallet and shipped common carrier.

From the Fastenal website. Map wouldn't load.

Fastenal does not currently offer shipping between East and West Zones as shown on below map.
