I had heard that clingfilm is a good wrap to put two tires/wheels
together for shipping. I was shipping a set of 4 to a buyer on
Ebay, so I tried it. Bad Move.
Although they were nice and tight when I took them to the
Fedex office, they arrived re-packed in loose
cardboard boxes, and the small box of lug nuts that I'd taped
inside the "pair" was missing.
I should have put an address label on everything seperately.
The buyer had to get new lug nuts, so I ended up eating the
shipping costs (about $60). These were VW wheels by
the way, not Datsun.
