I'd get some big boxes. Otherwise a LOT of scrunched up newspaper, bubble wrap, and send them in formation like polo mints.

Have they got tyres on?
I sent alloys with tyres on via paisley freight, and I just covered the alloy face with a cut out round piece of cardboard.
They got to their destination fine :)

Face to face with cardboard in between and then shrink wrap them in pairs.

They don't need to be taken in pairs or all 4 they can be left loose.
They stick a sticker on all 4.

if they have tyres on then just whack them in a bin liner with plenty of tape, if no tyres, wrap them alot, I used tnt to get some alloys without tyres and he advised me not to send them as if they were damaged in transit then no damages would be paid for, so I wrapped them up in recycling bags with handles (probably only have them down here) and stuffed newspaper in every place i could find and tape them up.
