I think I might have a buyer for my 18" ADR rims. He lives somewhere else. So, I have to ship to him. How do I go about this? Do I need to pack them up or could I just put shipping labels on the rims/tires? Also, who should I call, USPS or UPS? Do they pick up? I need some advice because this is the first time I'll be shipping out rims/tires. Thanks.

Glad you found a buyer.
Oh yeah, there was also plastic bags between the cardboard and the wheels to cover the metal. However, the tires were exposed.

Here is my recommendation...
Try usps parcel post service. Do 4 separate boxes, it will be cheaper. Make sure to add popcorn in the box with the wheels. Or fedex ground the same way.
Hope this helps

Thanks. Where do I get boxes big enough for the rims/tires? So, do I have to call USPS? Do they pickup?
