How do I go about getting some wheels shipped down from Cumbria to down near Bath?
Don't have the time or inclination to drive 600 miles round trip so need a courier or something to bring 'em down.
Any recommendations at all?
What can I expect to pay to move 4 wheels + tyres?

DON'T use Securicor.
When I did this, they didn't turn up to collect, 2 days running, despite being reminded, and having been paid!!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Dunno yet - probably flogging them.

OZ Prodrive 17" wheels in gold with Toyo T1s. Front tyres probably need replacing (good for track though), back ones have loads left on them.
Very shiny, 6 months old, not a single scratch (cos I always park at 5 metres from the kerb to protect them

) or scuff.

Get in touch with Parcel Force operating out of Penrith, Cumbria. Was going to use them to transport 5 Caterham 16" HPC wheels, from just south of London to South Cumbria at a cost of about £30, 3-4 day delivery, quicker if you pay slightly more. They charge on a weight basis and my 5 wheels were about 75 kilos. Number in the book.
