Pack them yourself and save the money, time and ultimate hassle.

As others have said, the Home Depot boxes are inexpensive.

You must use the heavy-duty 22x22x22 Extra Large box.

Then while you are there, buy sheet foam in the insulation isle (2 inch white) at around $20 a 96x28 sheet. Then buy bubble wrap. Cut the foam to 22x22 and use it on the top/bottom sides (sides would be probably 22x12 or so).

Make sure the wheel is well packed in bubble. Make sure the wheel does not move inside the box (use more foam/bubble).

ONE wheel per box. Just cut down the 22x22x22 box above.

It will not take that long, you will save the hassle of dealing with UPS stores or FedEX stores who pack - and who ultimately never use critical thinking skills in packing large and/or heavy pieces.
