best way to ship wheels and tires?

I checked with UPS and I don't think theyll even ship. How have you guys shipped your rims and tires and how much does it cost?

I've shipped many sets of wheels.. i always go thru UPS. They will ship it. It cost about $150 bucks for all 4 wheels and tires

They ship everything. Try to keep the weight under 70 lbs each or they surcharge BIGTIME. Keeping them individual, is the best method. Be sure to protect the outside of the wheel with doubling up cardboard. The back isn't as important. Then tape the heck out of it. Be sure to tape the label also.
I work there and see lots of them go through.
