Special K 81 0 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 ok checked the is serious,looks decent prices but it wants weight, size of packages etc, this i dont know :S unfotunately, the other 2 links above give easy methods for like just 1 through to 5 wheels up to 17" etc and set prices. Prob not as cheap as this but easier maybe,,....dont know!?!? :S Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 what size are your wheels?its straightforward enough to fill out and can save you fair bitif you do multiple parcels and then your length and width is the circumference of your wheels and depth is the width of your wheels just put 10kg per box youd be fine for weighteg for a 17"x8" rim it would be 45cmx45cmx21cm and 10kg. its all approximate anyway they arent gonna do anything if your a bit over.
