I was recommended these guys Paisley freight (http://www.paisleyfreight.com/alloy-wheel-courier.php) by a lad on vvoc when he bought some alloys from me, about 250 miles from me too, a day and a half after collection he had them, £27.99 anywhere in the uk:thumb:

That was all four 16" vectra B SRi alloys, with tyres and wrapped seperately, i wrapped them myself, in cardboard to protect the faces, then double bagged them in bin bags and cocooned them in tape, printed an A4 sheet with the delivery address on each, with 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, and 4 of 4 on each respectively:thumb:

I've sent wheels with these guys a few times. Always a great service. I had to wrap mine in pairs though.
