Default Best way to package rims?

Well since i'm sellign my rims i want to know the best way to package them so they dont get damaged. I think i'm gonna do 4 seperate tight boxes with peanuts/newspaper/other soft objects lol in them, anyone have any suggestions on the best way to ship them?

Check out

http://www.uline.com/Class_04.asp?desc=Boxes+Corrugated

for virtually any size box you could possibly need. Also, I'd be tempted to use large bubble wrap to protect the wheels.

good idea with the bubble wrap ^

i think i'm good with the box thoguh, theres this warehouse in town i used to work at that has like every size box, and im still good friends with everyone that works there so i could just go there and get boxers/peanuts/bubble wrap to ship it out

just put them in a large enough box, probably 2 seperate boxes(2 wheels in each), and use some bubble wrap. if they can stand being driven on bumpy roads and such, sitting in a cardboard box with bubble wrap will do just fine..
