Shipping Steelies, Best way to package/transport? Options

[kmwvmarip]

Car: 71 1.7

Here is the deal. Two years ago my dad gave me his 914. It has always been garaged and is quite unmolested and has been well taken care of. It has been used but treated like a garage queen. Always garaged, never driven in the rain, etc... but yes, there is some hell hole damage under the battery tray.

My dad drove the car on a flatbed trailer with the car and as many parts as he could haul out from the east to the west coast.

The question (s): In his barn he has the original steel wheels. They are likely in pristine condition. They are the type with the dog dish hub caps, which are also original w/o a scratch.

1. Is it worth shipping them from West Virginia to California? (I know that this answer will vary depending on prices of good condition original steelies and the value of having the original parts on the car and what I want the end product to be.)

2. What methods have people used to ship wheels? Boxed individually? Together in bulk? How do you handle this awkward shipment?

3. How much does does this sort of shipment typically cost and with what shipper, UPS, etc?

4. What tire sizes are accommodated with steelies?

Thanks in advance. I prefer the looks of 2.0 Fuchs but getting the scratch together would tough to justify.
