I just sold my wheels and the boxes I was planning on shipping them in were destroyed by the rain.

Do any of you by chance have boxes laying around that would be big enough to fit one wheel each. I'm thinking 22" x 22" x 12".

Thanks!

 

i wish i could help.

 

I'm sure somebody here has boxes laying around. My car is now really demodded. I picked up some OEM non-sport 17's, and raised my coilovers up. This is going to be a long 6 weeks.

Any idea how to pack the wheels up safely? The tires will protect the majority of the wheel so I'm guessing all I need is some padding for the lip/spokes.

 

boris, take a look at how my Volks were shipped:

they had a thick piece of cardboard and bubble-wrap (on the outside) on a face side of the rim, basically taped to the wheel.

you could do the same - 2 thick pieces of cardboard (on both sides of the wheels), bubble wrap on the ouside of that, and a lot of tape to hold that all together.

as far as boxes go, aren't there shipping companies who provide a service of packing your own stuff?...

 

sorry, it's the other way around - bubble wrap next to the wheel, then cardboard...

 

I just moved into a new house and now have a house full of empty boxes.

 

Where are you located? Feel free to PM.

Thanks!

 

You could always go to your local U-Haul or storage place. They'll have boxes.

 

whats your story on de-modding?

 

Lots of new parts on order, swapping out existing mods for others, having some custom work done, and preparing to give the G a new look. I'm staying kinda secretive about it for now, but the project should be done in 6-7 weeks.

Until I have everything in, my car is at stock height on stock 2003 wheels.

 

cool--didn't know if you were selling or buying a Z or whatever.

 

No, my friends, G-buddies, and wallet told me to keep the G instead of going for an M3.

 

Obviously, I aint either one of that ok, now I know where I stand in your book

Good luck with finding the box, I've try U-hual, FedEx/Kinko before, no luck with excat size for the wheels, end up getting the boxes that is bout twice bigger than I wanted, stuff it with whole bunch newspaper/cardborards.

How much you sold you wheels for?, dont mind me asking...still coming out April 1st right?

 

Haha, sorry Shane!

$1,400 + shipping. I'll be there April 1st, but probably in the IS- my G is an embarassment right now.

 

Ummmm...not sure if IS is any less of embarrassment , not to worry, cus Cru going with his stock wheels too.
