Re: shipping help, rims
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.

Re: shipping help, rims
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

Re: shipping help, rims
They are currently a fortune to ship anymore if
you are not a business.

Re: shipping help, rims
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. |

Re: shipping help, rims
Anytime I have shipped wheels they have had tires on them. Strapped them to a pallet and shipped common carrier.
