Edit: $300-$400 is a good deal in shipping for these since they are out of the country, if you saw my previous post please disregard it as I missed the fact these were coming from BC. My apologies to everyone involved!

Shipping wheels through Fed Ex is NO WHERE near $300-$400. I have shipped everything from 17x9.5 WITH tires (285/35/17's) to 19"s with 275's on them (full sets of wheels both times) and it NEVER ran me over $100 for all four and that was from North to South using Fed Ex. Not trying to hurt your sale but if you want to sell the wheels and arent trying to make money off shipping then you would be better off charging about $150 for shipping, that should be plenty to pay the cost of shipping AND enough to get you boxes etc... you can go on Fed Ex.com for a shipping quote if you arent sure.
the wheel alone is over 30lbs. the tire is over 50lbs. if you don't believe it, go to each manufacturer's website and it's listed there.
the boxes i found are 25x25x15 heavy-gauge cardboard. and there is additional packaging as well. this is from http:/www.fedex.ca :

Additional Notes
Important for Customs: To prevent delays, your shipment must have the following customs documents attached: Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Origin, Shipper's Export Declaration. Additional clearance documents may also be required. For more information, please visit our international tools site.
using http://www.xe.com to do the currency conversion at today's rates, international ground at $582.84 CAD is 490.171 USD. so in fact i'm actually quoting LESS than what it actually costs.
so, please tell me how you managed to get $150 for shipping???

I wasnt trying to hurt your sale, I didnt think you would be over charging someone so I figured it might help you sell them if you had a more accurate cost.
I was wrong in this case and I apologize
You are correct what you had listed was a correct shipping rate. I missed the fact you were out of the country (don't ask me how as it is in your title, guess it was late and I was tired). Again, I apologize and I have edited my previous post to reflect that.
