DIY: How to Pack Wheels for Shipping!

[evbecks]

Hey Guys,
I thought I'd put together a little tutorial for packing that will hopefully save people some hassle and headaches when it comes to shipping wheels. If this is not the right location for the thread, please let me know. Also, this is the method that I typically use. You can use alternate materials if need be and I'm not claiming any responsibility if you don't follow this properly and your customer gets damaged wheels!

Nice write up! I'd also suggest opening a shipNEX account as they were the most affordable shipping broker whom uses UPS/FedEx. It saved me about 20-30 bucks shipping 4 wheels via UPS.
