I would ship freight. Always ship my wheels freight. Lay them on that pallet and they stay there til there destination. No guy throwing them off the truck. As far as wrapping them. Towel over the face, followed by Saran wrap, followed by bubble wrap, and Saran wrap once more. No worry for them getting scratched up.

They guy who sent me my wheels just went for 4 individual boxes/shipments through USPS. He just wrapped the shit out of them with bubble wrap, and stuffed every inch of the boxes with bubble wrap too. I just went for an 'out the door' price so I dont know how much it cost him to ship. I am figuring like $200.

Fedex provides the pallet and its normally about 150 at most. Last two shipments I have done have been around the 120 range. You will spend about 20 bucks in packing materials. i.e. saran wrap and bubble wrap
