I need to post an alloy wheel with a tyre on it, what is the best way to do that? I have posted just wheels before in a box but I don't have a box big enough for this. Will be using a courier but how would I package it? I don't know what is unacceptable.
Posting a wheel with tyre? Best way to package.

Lots of bubble wrap, and I mean lots!

The ones I bought a few weeks ago came wrapped in cling-film with cardboard circles over each end of the alloy. Think there was a bit of bubble wrap too but not much. if it's with a tyre then the tyre will take any bashing as long as you have some cardboard/padding on the alloy face.
Good idea, I will try that. Thanks. Should be OK.

I'll second the cardboard circles over the wheels bit. Sent a couple of sets that way before. Don't need anything on the tyres... they're tyres!

Only faces of wheel need protecting so i would just use cardboard to cover those and wrap in bin liner or bubble wrap.
courier wise i used parcels2go and they were cheap for large heavy items
