Hello Oppo. I am about to move cross country. I am driving and need to ship my summer wheels since they take up too much room in the Brapalier but I will certainly need them when summer comes.

How do I do this? What is an economical way to go about this?

Picture of said brappenings for your time.

Might be cheaper to buy a roof rack. Call UPS I'm pretty sure they ship wheels.

Use a bus, I’ve shipped wheels to Ottawa on greyline and it was really cheap.

Greyhound courier express? Depending on if they have room or not, of course, but you should be fine.

How did you pack them?

Canadaball is not amused. Well okay. Maybe we are a little amused.

Wow, I meant greyhound, haven’t had any coffee yet today. I just made sure they were clean and didn’t have to pack them in anything. If you’re worried about them I would tie (or tape) cardboard to the front side of each wheel to prevent any scratching.

Your probably be looking at ~50/wheel to ship from Ont to BC and that’s using a discounted Purolator rate.

Hate to break it to you. If you can’t physically bring them with you ,they are probably not worth bringing at all.

I agree with this suggestion.

How much weight can the roof support?

Moose are more reliable.

130-160 lbs depending on the brand.

I guess taking my wheels with me would solve the problem of needing to put my banana spare back on it’s bead.
