There is a company on ebay that specialise on transporting wheels. Cost depends on size wheel.
I can't for the life of me find it now but I'll keep looking.

Thanks p3. Be most grateful. :smiley:

Your looking for "Alloy wheel courier" in ebay.

This is the one I was thinking about

£32.50 for 4 alloys and tyres to be delivered although it quotes 2 different prices!!  Never used them though.


Here are few other couriers that are reasonably cheap or at least were. I haven't used them for a while.

I've used www.parcelmonkey.co.uk a couple of times and they've been great.
They use other couriers, but get you a better price than using them directly - plus you don't need a business account to use them.  I've had citylink the last couple of times.
