Hey Chris,

Finally got the old wheels off and ready to ship. Here are the shipping costs:

UPS - $173.52
FedEx - $121.24
DHL - $114.04

The weight of each box is 36lbs and the dimensions are 18 x 18 x 9. They will be shipping from zip 37013.
just for a cost comparison. I went with DHL however one rim had a small dent in it when it came today. Should pound out. Yeah steel!

Yeah - DHL was a bit more expensive here...

Go to the sites, plug in the zips and package stats...and see what you get. My guess is that DHL and FedX are going to generally be close for most, and swap low/high's on specific combos.

UPS was ALWAYS more though.

WHere did you get 4 steel rims to fit an 05 X?

Are they the same as the spare rim?

I looked everywhere, including wreckers for these rims.
