Default Best way to ship a set of CCWs?

If Im in KY and the buyer is in MA and I am sending 2 17x11 and 2 17x12 wheels and tires what is the best way to have these sent? USPS, FEDEX, UPS? Send then individually, paired?

Ship in pairs, outside of rim facing in with a couple pieces of cardboard in the middle to prevent them from getting too damaged. Then strap the wheels together in multiple places.
Any of those companies can ship, just go on line once you have weights and measurements to see how has good pricing.

Fedex ground is less expensive than UPS. Go to your local tire shop and get boxes, check with Fedex to see if pairs are less expensive. JD

Also, if you reciever can have them sent to a business address it is less expensive.
