I got a set of wheels and tires off of Ebay and the guy shipped them to me in a pretty creative way. He cut cardboard in circles a bit bigger than the size of the rims and used duct tape to put them on and cover up the rims. Then put the mailing address and return address right on the cardboard. Make sure you put which wheel it is on the inside cardboard (if you track that sort of thing). Used long, heavy duty tie wraps through the lug bolt holes to create a lifting handle. Only problem: cleaning the glue from the duct tape off of the tires. He also sent the center caps in another envelope. From Boston, MA to Harrisburg, PA was $16 per wheel.
Shipping the rims on their own is typically about $50 for the whole box of 4, but shipping rims with tires interferes with the post office's size vs. weight requirement for packages, so you have to ship them individually. Click the link below to help you calculate shipping and package sizes.
Hope this helps.
