go to Box Bros on Geary in San francisco. They can package and send it for you. I just dropped off my rims and they did the rest. my buddy got the rims with no problems.
While I was there they were shipping a Porche tranny.

That doesn't sound big enough to warrant a freight company....check with FEDEX and UPS on max dimensions first.

Just an FYI but I shipped my entire s2k tranny using FEDEX for only $60 bucks (weights close to 70 lbs) but for my ap2 front lip spoiler it was considered an extra large item due to length and they charged me $83 bucks to ship! I didn't know since I have an acct. with them and they bill me later...ouch!

I just use my company shipping dept and pay them...lucky me

Try DHL. I've received large items from them.
