What is the best way to ship a pair of wheels. They are 20" spoke coaster brake wheels with tires. It's my first time shipping a pair, what do you guys usually use to pad and keep everything secure without adding a ton of weight?
 
Sometimes I will pull the axles out and put them in a seperate bag. Otherwise the axles can tear up the box, it also can help cut down on the dimensions of the box. The other thing you can do is put caps over the axles.
 
Take some of those plastic air packaging bags and place between the two wheels and then wrap with Saran Wrap to hold together. Plastic caps or you can make some cap with some think plywood for the axles

PS.....Don't forget to let the air out of the tires to save weight. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
