Just a simple question really, how have you packaged them up?
Pics would be helpful.
Thank you.

I just wrapped them in a few black bin liners and taped up with parcel tape and put some cardboard over the face of the alloy.

i send them in 2 parcels (2 alloys in each)
i put them face to face with a few layers of bubble wrap so they dont scratch the faces, tie them together with thick string (had one alloy get lost in the past, so always tie them together), cover them in bubble wrap and tape them with parcel tape, then either put them in a black bag or if i have got some i will put them each in a big cardboard box..
hope that helps

fair enough just i know how the parcel services throw the parcels about so all the buyer wants is to have damaged wheels when they get there..
just make sure you tie them together, as ive said ive had alloys go missing in the past when just taped them together..

new alloys normally wrapped in bubble wrap or something then card board in-between the 2, then more cardboard supporting them around the outside - then in a box!

Wrap them as best you can, most packages go through about 10 or more hands before they get to the other end!
