[s-cars] Wheel shipping

[CyberPoet]

UPS guidelines for shipping wheels/tires is:
Apply a wide band of pressure-sensitive tape through the center and
completely around (one edge of) the body of the tire (covering about 15
- 20 degrees of the circumference of the tire), so the tape is attached
to itself. Attach your address label to the tape band where it covers
the tread. Cover the entire label with clear tape. An additional
handling charge ($5 per) will apply for unboxed items.

Basically, do each wheel separately, so you don't get the surcharge for
too large/too heavy a shipment, and use the above method to label each
one as part of the same shipment. If you have an UPS Internet Ship
account (you can set one up in about five minutes), there is a discount
for doing 4 packs to the same destination.
