If you aren't in a hurry, my family and I will be taking a vacation in San Diego in February and we will be driving down. Probably don't have room for rims with tires but...

FedEx Ground is cheaper than UPS. Greyhound is also reasonable if you're near a terminal on both ends.

I can help get them from San Jose to Sonoma, where Rob can pick them up.

If I'm not mistaken Greyhound is about a buck a pound to transport.

Fed Ex Ground for tracking and insured packages. Greyhound for low price. Greyhound you just strap them together in pairs, box them in the medium Home Depot box, and stick a label on them. Ultra cheap shipping.
How is the car coming Ed? |

Ugh.......Slow...I'm still in the ordering metal parts to weld into the car phase. I just spent $1400 bucks on misc sheet metal parts and my steel flares from George at AA. Sold my 1.7 FI engine to Sean Molloy which is good....Still have a L O N G way to go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
