I bought some stock 17's, no tires, and the guy shipped them through USPS from Washington to NJ. I think he must have paid about $100-$120. It took about a week for me to receive the first wheel, then like 4 days later I got the other three wheels. I wouldn't recommed using USPS.

^^^That's a pretty good price, but destination might be closer to CA?

I shipped out a set of wheels, 28lb each, back east, ~$27/each with fedex.

If you live near a postal solutions place that handles business from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, and whatever other courier services there are--they can usually give you quote on ALL of the services on the spot. I usually choose the cheapest option they provide when I ship out anything.

I have shipped many sets of wheel/tire combos, Fedex is hands down the cheapest.
