best shipping method for 18" with tires

so i need to ship my original wheels from seattle 98087 to san antonio 78244,

does anyone know the cost?? and best shipping carrier?? UPS/FEDEX/USPS???
kinda skeptical about packing, i know new wheels come wrapped in plastic with foam/spongey stuff


id greatly appreciate it, im installing original wheels back on my car to get ready to sell it - already having pre-withdrawls knowing im parting ways with such beauty. thanks again guys.

just wheels, or wheels with tires on them?
For wheels with tires on them, I just put pieces of round cardboard on both sides and wrap tape around the whole thing. For just shipping wheels, cardboard box is fine. USPS is usually cheapest, you can save a bit of money if you put 2 into a large box, like a computer laser printer box or toilet paper box or something. Shipping Prices have gone way up though.
