I need to ship 4 wheels and tires (mounted)
Please help.
Keep in mind, I have very little packing supplies at home, so lets just assume I have to buy everything.
I'm told/read that it should be around 100-150 to ship 4 wheels via UPS...if I go to a distribution center directly. Going to a UPS store I hear it can cost $250.
Any advice on what packing supplies I can get for cheap? I'm planning on shipping the wheels/tires without air, and in 4 separate boxes.

Boxes that are strong enough to hold wheels/tires aren't cheap. Your best bet is to ship them in pairs, faces of the wheels inward, with a couple layers of cardboard separating them...then strap them together. Either that or do it the way tirerack does:
Putting them in boxes is unnecessary IMO.

What's going to puncture them during shipping? There's no load on them.

That won't do anything to them.

yeah i'll put in like 5-10 psi, so they're not fully deflated.
