You could just wrap each individual wheel up in loads of bubble wrap (i really do mean loads) and then cover them with some bin liners. Thats how i sent my old wheels off. They turned up to the buyer in perfect condition :smiley:

Or, try supermarkets see if they have an boxes that are big enough!

Thanks for the suggestions but I meant to say these are not normal VAG wheels, they're nearly 50 year old Borrani 15"x5" 72 spoke Wire wheels and will need some decent boxes, I will be hung if I only bubble wrap them for shipping!  :laugh:

I've looked around, just wandering if anyone's used a particular company for packaging that they can recommend.

Google a company called SixOneTwo.  They should be able to sort you out with some boxes.
