I used UPS through my work and it cost $72 to ship all 4 wheels in 2 bundles from Kansas City to Phoenix, Arizona.

I would assume UPS would be the cheapest. I know when I bought my set from the Tire Rack it cost me about $60 in shipping. They ship one rim/tire as a package. They place cardboard covers over the exposed rim and then strap it all together. It seems to work well for them and I have had good luck so far. Just be sure to get them insured and have a signer for the delivery.

Yes UPS is the Way to go

I would have to say UPS is the cheapest, just pack them tight, or do what tire rack does with the card board. You can put two together using straps but don't go over 70 lbs cause thats a hefty extra fee. I work at UPS just so you know where the info is coming from.
