Sold a set of alloys, and going to be using Paisley to send them up to Aberdeen just a (probably daft) question. Did you just go to warehouses etc. to get the packaging or at least the cardboard?

yeah just me being lazy tbh, simple shrinkwrap/bubblewrap and bits of cardboard.

Thought they'd sell the cardboard boxes big enough for alloy wheels but easier if I do it the other way.

Shrink wrap off eBay is great stuff.

Same here.

Fuck taping them in pairs, that's just asking for them to be damaged.

Most basic way is, 1 sheet of card inbetween the outside faces of the wheels a piece on the outside too and then taped together. Same for the other pair.

I never the 2 times I used them. How you meant to easily lift 2 wheels and tyres that are taped together?

Lifted mine up in pairs with tyres fine.

Both times I've done it.
