krustyballer16 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Has anybody shipped 4 rims before? Trying to think of the easiest and safest way to ship 4 turbine rims... Any way they're packaged seems awkward.... Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Only thing I could suggest is getting boxes from a store that sells rims and tires... you know, boxes designed for rims... of course these days 15" rims are probably kind of rare in aftermarket shops I suppose.

Jeep Driver Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Metal roofing company near me gets rolled steel sheet, 10K lbs rolls. Core of roll is cardboard, think toilet paper roll on steroids, also same as concrete form cores.......these are for the taking, free. Cut a plywood plug, screw to end of core, stack wheels inside, plug other end. Diameter looks to be perfect.......16-17". Think I'm kidding? no, I'm not. That will go USPS. Mini pallet and plastic wrap as mentioned will probably be the easiest but will need to go UPS or Fedx. Just throwing out creative ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxmj Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have used Greyhound. You can build a plywood box and put your wheels in it and take it to a Greyhound station and it is MUCH cheaper than fed ex and UPS. The person you are sending it to will need to pick it up at a station also for cheapest rate. Go on their website and get the specifics of max weight and dimensions. They will not guarantee an arrival time because they will take the cargo off a bus if the space is needed for current passenger luggage but will put it on the next bus with available space. Good luck! Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
