I am in dire need of a set of 4 boxes to ship these Style 172M rims that I have for sale. The boxes I have purchased from UPS makes the rims wobble so I am afraid that they will get damaged during shipment. I want to make sure they are adequately protected. If anyone has a spare set of boxes they want to sell or dispose I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance! This is kind of a rush request as I want to ship ASAP!
If anyone has any advice that will be great...although I have shipped rims and tires together, I really have never shipped just rims before...so its making me nervous!

I would suggest going to a wheel shop and asking for some, probably some 20" rim boxes (to leave room for packing material) if it's just the rims by themselves. If you are shipping 172's with tires, like I did, get 24" wheel boxes and they will fit perfectly with some room for packing. I went to a local rim shop, they gave me some boxes, didn't even charge me. Good luck

Try Uline.com - they sell quality and cheap boxes. Their delivery times are also very good!

Hey, BTW Godsgrace, I never got a response back from you on the mats! 
Did you ever sell them? Please advise.
Thanks!

you may also want to search for a thread on how to pack wheels/tyres so that they reach perfect. It involves cutting circular cardboard pieces for either sides of the wheels and then putting bubble wrap around the entire thing.

I am located in Stamford. CT. It will probably not be worth it to ship just boxes from CA.....if anyone in the NY/ NJ / CT area and have some spare boxes please let me know....much appreciated
