If you do decide to drive keep in mind that the gendarmes set up mobile photo speed booths - but a radar detector will find them. On the back roads they use LIDAR which is jammable. That'd be a fun drive!

Good luck getting them back now. The French postal system drives me nuts. They hold packages for customs if they get a whiff of something 'new' in them. At this point, you might have to drive down there to steal them back from La Poste.

Fortunately it's DPD, not post office that handles them. They have noticed the mistake and now the wheels are "back in DPD system".
