SOLD TX - Volk Racing CE28N 17x9.5 +50 bronze with RE71R
Name: Robert
Price: SOLD
Location: Houston, TX
Contact: PM
Bought the square set from Evasive Motorsports and after a 6 month wait got the 255/40 bridgestone mounted. Comes with bronze center caps. 0 miles on it so it's brand new, price is firm and I have all the original boxes that came with it.
Not looking for trades as I will be selling the car soon. Not looking to ship as well since the tires are mounted, but willing to meet up serious buyers that's not too far from Houston. Let me know if you want any more detail pictures. Thanks.

The best way that I know of is, saran wrap two wheels together with cardboard in the middle to protect the faces. You might have to use some poly cord strapping to keep them together during shipping. Yes the weight of the shipping will be part of cost but overall the amount of items is going to be less which takes up less space in there vehicle. Or you can try to ship them separately like below. I would suggest get a quote from UPS or Fedex's website.

I have shipped wheels this way multiple times and its super easy and works out really well. Just use foam and cardboard on the faces and then use plastic wrap.

Appreciate all the help, will visit UPS later today and get some more quotes. Palletizing actually cost more for some reason, maybe cause I am not a business with repeat orders...
I am still not sure if it matters if we put 25"x25"x12" even though it's round and not an actual box/square size for the quote. Looks like I can get away with shipping 2 wheels per package to save a little more...
How much air do you guys remove? Each wheel is at 41 lbs now with it fully inflated, hopefully removing most of the air won't mess with the integrity of shipment.

You don't need to let air out just ship them as is. Lowering the air pressure in a tire/wheel setup actually makes it heavier. Shipping usually is a combination of destination, weight, and size of the package.
