Any recommendations for companies who can transport wheels for much cheapness? Parcelforce etc. appear to want the moon on a stick to carry them Thankyouplease.

Have you thought about trying any of the couriers that advertise on eBay? E.g. Item no 6031147212 You'd have to send them individually though.

Up to 20kg at the post office is only £11.95 so generally two boxes with two wheels in each is £24 - obviously as long as they weigh less than 10kg each wheel.
You can use postoffice.com and loads of other courier sites to check out postage.

Use Parcel2go.com
put 2 wheels together in 1 package, and send 2 packages.
The weight limit on there is 25kgs, but they use DHL who have a weight limit of 50kgs. So you'll be fine. I've used them to get loads of sets of wheels to me. Costs just over £20.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

The very same! For the price I couldn't go wrong really, they're going to have a use in the near future - perhaps not on my current car.
