Well I'm getting ready to ship some wheels and tires, and need to know the best/cheapest way to do so. Should I just find a huge box? Or can I just wrap them in something and slap a label on. Will USPS ship something this big, or should I go to ups? Just looking for some ideas.

i cut two peices of cardboard in a round shape...one for the top one for the bottom. stack the rims/tires on top of each other with the cardboard on the top and bottom and layer them up with packing tape. once they are strong and fully taped up, slap a label on one side of the cardboard and they should be good to go. i personally havnt used either usps or ups, i have a fedex plant 1min away.

So you just put 2 peices of cardboard on the ends, and left the middle open? I will try that.

Every time i have shipped tires i just use the shrink wrap them and put the shipping sticker on the out side. cant get much easier than that.

idk if it would help or not but id figure letting the air out of them would help in the shipping price as well
