Since I don't know how to find packaging material to ship the wheels, buyer have to pick them up. I live in the Seattle area. If you live within 20 miles from my place, I'll deliver them to you.

... of taping a 20" cardboard circle over each wheel and sending UPS. Use fiberglass strapping tape. The tires provide all the padding you need. I've sent and received many wheels/tires using this method and have never had a wheel damaged. It is MUCH easier than trying to find boxes and padding big enough to enclose the entire wheel/tire combo.

The Radial Style 32 wheels look beautiful on an E34. I hope you found something equally nice to replace that car!
