Grab a wheel/tire combo and step on a scale. Now subtract your weight. Then you go to shipping sites and input the info. Simple.

I paid about $150 for a set of wheels and tires via UPS from Texas to my house. That was a few years ago though. With gas surcharges, this may be off the mark.
DHL ground is cheapest now. Significantly less than UPS ground.

If you have a DHL store nearby, bring one wheel and have it estimated on their big scale. The 6-12 day Mule ship option is usually pretty reasonable.

Expect around 200-250. I shipped from MI to Hawaii via usps 2-3 day priority mail and it was $350 for 20" carlssons and tires Weighing about 56lbs each.
