Do not use the UPS store for any packaging services, unless you are completely helpless. They charge a premium to package and wrap stuff. That would be the most expensive option. We shipped custom race wheels all over the world for years. In the US, we always used FedEx Ground. The wheels were expensive, some almost 1500. each, so I would line the boxes on all four sides, top and bottom with 1 or 2 inch styrofoam, so the wheels would be ok, even if they were dropped or fell of FedEx’s conveyor. Sometimes if the wheels were narrow, we would tape two boxes together, but mostly shipped in separate boxes to keep the wight down if they were dropped. Never had a wheel damaged in shipping. I would usually figure about $50. Per wheel to pack and ship, and I always packed the wheels myself. FedEx always seemed to have the right size boxes. Sometimes we would ship the wheels broken down, into their three pieces to save money shipping overseas. We never shipped wheels with tires, that’s a whole other situation.
