Cost me $80 to ship 2 boxes of 15's with tires from SD to TX through FedEx. Paired them up, roped together, extra cardboard used to 'box'/reinforce the corners and pad the ends, lots of packing tape, low psi. Im sure if wheels and tires can take potholes, speedbumps, roadkill, etc... they can take a few hits, kicks, and throws from FedEx/UPS workers.

Putting them in boxes is unnecessary IMO.

That's how I've gotten wheels with tires mounted shipped to me. No problems, just make sure to use good tape and go from cardboard to cardboard.
