cost to ship wheels & tires?

[old_blue]

I am planning on selling my wheels and tires as a set and I was wondering if anyone knows the costs of shipping one wheel and tire as a set?

It's actually MUCH cheaper to tie/tape TWO together. If you do it this way, and you don't have a UPS/Fedex/DHL account.. it will probably be 80 bucks. Good luck.

Edit: Just noticed you said ONE wheel and ONE tire... If together, probably 25-30. If they are NOT mounted... tie them together somehow, it'll be cheaper.

I planned on taping and tieing 2 to each other and shipping them like that as I don't have a box to shipping them as a package. Probably use strapping tape and shrink wrap. thanks for the info.

oh and probably fedex or dhl as I have found them to be cheaper.

i sell alot on ebay and usually $100 is a good rule of thumb to go by, maybe a little less if you're closer. in my experience dhl is the cheapest so far. good luck.

sweet thanks. That is what I was kinda expecting. I will be losing a little bit but I need them gone and need to finish this conversion

I bought some draglites w/ 275/60/15's and they weigh about 50 lbs each if I remember correctly. It was like $26 from Florida to south-west Missouri for one tire/wheel. So around $100 for a set should be expected.

When I was looking, I checked fed ex, ups and the United States Postal Service (USPS) and found the US Postal Service to be the cheapest for large items. I did not check DHL.
