Florian,

I have shipped wheel and tire packages both UPS, USPS, and FedEx pacakge
like most
people described here. I put a piece of corrugated cardboard over the
vulnerable face, then
plastic-wrap the assembly. I also crisscross with packing tape just to be
safer. No incidents
with over 40 wheels shipped so far. You can band pairs of tires and wheels
if you want but
makes for a heavier and more challenging package to handle.

I alsmost forgot. You can steap them to a pallet with www.forwardair.com too
but they require
some sort of cardboard cover nowadays.
