yes, bubble wrap them and put them all in a large TV box...it weighed about 38kg

PS, get some carton box pieces to 'secure' the wheels inside to prevent them from moving

I did it last week and use www.sendexpress.com...

nice

Someone sent me a wheel wrapped in a lot of layers of bubble wrap with thin black polythene (bin bag type thickness) wrapped round that.

Appeared to work a treat, although depends how many your sending I suppose.
