i shipped my 18" wheels AND tires to california (from new york) and it cost about $350 thats including all four boxes and packing material ($20 per box) through DHL which is the cheapest. look for it to be around that price. good luck

expect it to be quite a bit more to ship to canada...

with rims and NO tires it will be about $220-$250 without boxes and material.
gas prices have a lot to do with the price to ship somehing. maybe wait till gas go's down if you want to save a little money :drinking:

did you say $350.00 to ship all four rims???????????

by **SolaraBlue** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:20 pm

like i said, if only rims and no tires it will be less but not much. also, finding your own boxes and packing material will save you some $$$ too.

can anybody guestimate the Weight of (4) oem 16" rims???????

by **SolaraBlue** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:26 pm

22-25lbs per im thinking... maybe more?

when i shipped out my rays wheels they only weighed 22lbs each and it was around $60 per wheel to ship. that was through UPS. it will be cheaper with DHL but only by a couple dollars.

Was the DHL service you used ground? UPS ground is pretty darn cheap...

yep DHL ground. UPS and fed ex are more expensive.

I got my rims off a guy in saint louis, and I think it cost around 350US to ship them. That was through ups tho, and they licked balls when it came time for those stupid brokerage fees. Ive heard they are the worst out of any other company. If you know the weight and zip code (postal code in canada), you should be able to get an accurate price.

I just did a quick UPS estimate:

San Diego to Northern FL (jacksonville)
30x12x30 (maybe just rim and some padding?)
30bs
Insurance: $99

= $63 each x 4 = $252

ouch!

you can say that again...OUCH...thanks for the leg work..

by **unbalancedwood** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 5:41 pm

Fed Ex (same trip) = $44 x 4 = $176

DHL (same trip ) = $44 x 4 = $176

So it seams these two are the cheapest for my locations....
