I no longer have a /4 so selling my spare set of 2L Fuchs, driver quality, perfect for restore or spare set of wheels, some curb rash and blemishes but otherwise straight and solid.

Prefer local pickup but will ship, note that shipping has been somewhat expensive lately so just be aware that would be on top of purchase price.

Asking $850 (plus shipping) with a set of 914rubber center caps and set of lug nuts

Heck of a deal Eric.They'll be gone by tomorrow morning. They'd sell for 1150+ on Facebook "914 parts for sale".

*SOLD pending payment*

Buyer backed out, still available
FYI, shipping is ridiculous on things right now, prefer local pickup or meet up if possible.

I might be interested but will need to ship, I live in Colorado.

No on the USPS. Look for 17" wheel boxes at a tire store. I've found the boxes usually hold 2 wheels with room for packing material. FedEx, not a FE office store, facility and an account. Shipping is what it is. Box up and weigh, measure, provide those #s and shipping ZIP and let the buyers do the legwork. You might try what Kent suggested.

I have them packed in the boxes my turbo Fuch's came in and UPS quoted them out at $111 per wheel to ship San Diego to New Jersey

Even with outrageous shipping, that's a deal! I'm surprised they haven't sold.

I have a commercial account with FedEx. I just sent 4 Fuchs from DE to CA. $118 for 2 boxes of 4 wheels. Medium size heavy duty box from Home Depot. 2 per box. I’ve probably shipped 200 wheels this way. FedEx prices haven’t changed much.

Good to know, I'll spin down to the real FedEx shipping nearby, I don't have a commercial account but will see if they're any less to ship--its further to drive and a bit of a hassle but UPS is just out of control expensive.

Sign up for the account online. It’s almost half the price as using the store. Once you have an account, you can use your account number online or at the store to get the savings. It’s a little bit of a pain to sign up but worth it.
Then get the FedEx app. It automatically keeps track of everything shipped under your account. You don’t have to remember tracking numbers.

About $100 to ship 4 rims from east to west coast

Shipped these last March from SoCal to PA with UPS for $188.

I always get much higher quotes with ups over FedEx but Ben uses ups with success so check both out and see what works for you. I know if I check FedEx without logging into my account the prices can be 50-100% higher so make the free account before you quote.

I will often email a seller a shipping label if they quote me a higher than normal shipping price. I don’t care about $5-10 but sometimes it’s substantial.
