Pack and send..

I also use TNT for work and they are pretty decent.

Couriers Wordwide Express

These guys are a courier broker.. They use mainly TNT couriers end to end, but you only pay a fraction of the cost of going to TNT directly. For example, I sent a 42" plasma TV. Box was over a metre long and 80cm high weighing 50kg. Cost me $55 to ship from Melbourne to Sydney. Unbeatable price! A TNT courier picked up the box, and a TNT courier dropped it off too.

A courier company wont take them unless they are boxed up.. Maybe visit packsend to see if they've got boxes big enough to fit all four tyres/wheels. Most likely though you'll have to pack them separately. Call your courier company and ask them to quote the price for one big box (you will need dimensions + approx weight of the box), and also get a quote four smaller boxes. They SHOULD work out about the same, but sometimes the price changes over a certain size/weight because they need to send a truck with two guys or a hydraulic rear loader (because one guy in a van cant take a giant 80kg box cos he cant lift the box on his own for example).

Keep in mind that the smaller your box is, the cheaper it will be. So try to find boxes that perfectly match the size of the rim+tyre. If they dont, modify the boxes so there isnt too much wasted space.
