Use an eBay wheel courier. Just say it's 4 wheels. Will work out about the same price as Parcel 2 Go (as long as P2G don't moan about the dimensions)

The guys I use on eBay book through DHL. 4 alloys in two parcels £19.99 with a max weight of 30kg each parcel. They say no tyres though, but I always have tyres on them. Just wrap them in card so they don't see lol.
Saves about £20 when sending a full set.

There's someone else on the bay that will do it for £18. Haven't used them yet though.

Either this or P2G will be your best method, with both costing the same.

Looking at getting these,
but its too far away to pick up so it would have to be a courier

I'm trying to think what I wanted to send that was too large for P2G and I was gonna get fuel surcharged to fcuk. On the whole though they cannot be beaten I 100% agree.
