    I have found a cheaper place and it saves loads if you do the wheels as 1 parcel...

    I used parcel2go http://www.parcel2go.com a couple of months ago to send 4x15" wheels and tyres to some bloke after I'd put them on ebay. cost me around £40

    that was my bathroom scales mate
    turbines are not the lightest wheels around .
    the other thing that may surprise you is , that the tyre
    usually weighs more than the wheel
