Jim_1979 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Anyone got any idea what they weigh roughly? 4 19" wheels and 4 tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Also, what's the easiest way to get a set of alloys sent to someone? I just used TNT price checker thing and unless I touched the wrong buttons they were quoting £250+ ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The set of 18's I sold a couple of months back which weighted 82kg in total. It cost £75 to send them via Parcel force (The online prices are not correct for these weights apparently, you need to call) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 That'll do as a rough guide. Who did you use to ship them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be fine the guy is sound I think mine where but they still did it for £25 theres a few other lads who has used this fella and he is spot on, my 19s where about 27 to 30lb a wheel then tyers so 80kg is more then enought. I think its about 16 - 18kg a wheel - with tyres Lew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ah, nice one mate. Curious... do peope like this exist for shipping larger items like bumpers etc? They're about a million times cheaper than parcel force/tnt etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
