Saw this ad and thought it'd help you visualize.. I have the anthracite turbofans and love the look tho they are pretty heavy but they would look awesome on yours!

I would drive to Texas for this... Will you be willing to pay for shipping of you wheels to Miami and I pay for my wheels to Houston? according to Fedex it would come out to $60.90 if you have an account with them.

I wish I had the shipping deal that you did. I just spent almost $200, with a UPS account, to ship my 17" OEM wheels/Tires from Mi to Ma. It will be less if you just ship the actual wheels, but even so I would think $60.90 is a bit low.

I just logged in to the FedEx website and got a quote for 2 packages of 60lbs each with dimensions of 20in x 20in x 20in from my zip code to a zip code in Houston (actually I tried almost 20 different Houston's zip codes and there was no difference) an it comes out to $60.90 for both packages for FedEx ground which takes approx. 3 days.

Then I went to the FedEx store which is next to my house and confirmed it. You have to ship wheels and tires in pairs to get the best price... If you get quotes for each tire or the 4 of them together its more expensive.

Not sure how the logistics would work. I like the fedex idea, but unfortunately, I'd have no idea what I'd do with my car in the meantime. I'm thinking something local would be better. (Unless you have ideas short of me putting my CM on blocks).

I was thinking of leaving my car on jack stands for the 3 days that the wheels would take to get here as I have another car that I could use in the meantime... If you are not able/willing to do such thing I guess I could send you my wheels first, you swap your tires and then you send me your wheels... Other than that I can't come up with other ideas for the moment... Tell me what you think.

I ended up shipping them in 2 pairs, but each pair with tires weighed in at 104lbs which is probably why it was so expensive.
