Re: Shipping wheels???? UPS questions!

[eric augustyn <eric@raudi.com>]

try shipping freight.  where ever you picked up those wheels from Tire Rack
might be able to do the same for your wheels.

The tricky thing about Tire Rack is that they do a lot of mail order
shipping (duh).  therefore keeping their shipping costs way down.

Last year I sold a set of tires and wheels to a guy in Florida from my home
in CT.  Can't remember how much it was but it wasn't much (NOT 200$).
There was a shipping point i was able to use but it was hard to find.

Good luck to your friend in CA.
