Christ, I wouldn't want to buy a set of wheels from some of you lot!!
Several layers of thick bubblewrap and then a cardboard sleeve to protect both the front and the back, or two layers of cardboard if the wheels are mint.
It's not just protecting the painted finish (which doesn't really matter if they need a refurb) it is also to protect against them getting buckled or chipped into the metal. This can and does happen.
