Hey guys, this is for those that have purchased rim and tire packages from tirerack or discount tire: how do they package them for shipping?

Do they just put cardboard covers over the wheel face and tape it up, or is something fancy?

How do you guys ship your wheels when you sell them?

yeah they just put cardboard over the wheels

 

I bought from Whalen Tire and they put each wheel / tire in a box by itself.

Hey guys thanks for your replies.

One more question for billy_corgan:
How did they attach the cardboard faces?
Did they tape around the wheel, or shrink wrap, or neither?

 

how much does it cost to ship wheels though? I wanna send the tires and wheels and I have to ship them down to my brother from georgia -> florida but im thinking it may be too expensive? Which shipping company do you guys use?

 

They use plastic bands. like a plus sign. One up and one across. +

 

My wheel/tires came with the cardboard on the face of the rim and plastic wrapped around the wheels/tires.
