Bubble wrap each one and send them individually, registered post (that way they are insured)... Take one to the post office and they will give a
price. I sent 2 rims from Townsville (FNQ) to some outback yokel town in NSW and they cost $39 each and weighed 18 kg each.Was about 1/3 the price i
was quoted by all freight companies I rang...might be worth a try?? If you box it it will cost more as you're charged a cubic meter price (more
expensive).Leave it "round" and it will be based more on the weight of the item:thumb Nice score BTW...:thumb

I will take one to the post office and check for you after I have the tyres stripped off tomorrow Paul. I sent you a link to a mob that seemed quite
reasonable AirRoad direct I think.
Cheers,
Mick.

I think Busfreight will be the cheapest. They'll do door to door which will be a bit more than depot to depot. Sent a set of Raders to Bris for $100.
Call Greyhound.
Well bought Paul. Great look.

Busfreight said they only sent packages up to 25kg, but I guess that would just mean sending the wheels as two packs. AirRoad seemed ok at $93 booked
online, Brisbane to Melbourne.
I'll call Busfreight again tomorrow (2 days off then graveyard shifts starting Friday 10pm - boo).
