In the last 5 years I have shipped no less than 10 sets of wheels. FedEx each time, never any big issues, about $50-75 from Oregon to East Coast, depending on how you package them. I've always shipped 4 wheels to a box, big it may be, but it's the best method.

See what Greyhound can do - not quite as convenient, as you have to drop off/pick up at the bus station, but they're usually pretty reasonable for larger items.
