call tirerack (888-541-1777) and tell them you want to buy the shipping materials to ship out wheels. they send you pieces of circular cardboard and pieces of foam to protect the wheels.

Yes and dont bring them to the UPS store for packaging. They quoted me $130 to package a set of 20's without the actual shipping.

I would say the cheapest is most likely thru Shippi.com. They can give you packing tips. You can call them or quote and book online.
