When I ordered my wheels, I was expecting them to come in boxes. WRONG.... the wheels were sandwiched between several layers of carboard circles which covered the wheels and much of the tires and and were then strapped and taped together. Only the rubber showed. That's how they arrived to me via UPS Ground from the vendor.

I was a bit freaked out when I saw them but they came cross country without any problems, nicks or scuffs. Shipping turned out to be $30 per wheel/tire combo ($120 total).
