I have shipped about 10 sets of wheels or so with tires over the past several years via UPS Ground and they have been consistent the past 5+ years.
With $5000 worth of insurance and wheels/tires you are easily looking at $200-$240. Now add in another $30-$50 for supplies and worst case you will see $280-$300 for shipping for wheels/tires.
Now wheels alone you can ship USPS Priority at $39-$58 bucks a wheel + insurance. So worst case scenario you are looking at $200+ for shipping and materials is another $30-$50. So $300 for shipping is not all that crazy in reality. Sorry some of you folks think that but I just shipped a set of 19 inch Volk CE28s from Oregon to Utah and it ran me exactly $229.42 with $4000 in insurance and it ran me $46 for materials from Home Depot. So that $276 right there. But again thats with tires. The year before I shipped 19 inch Volk Time Attacks from Oregon to Georgia. Ran me $225 + $40 in shipping material.
Yeah I could have Grey Hounded them for $80 bucks but this is what I have been use too.
