I shipped a C5 rear wheel just a few months ago.

USPS Priority Mail, with $150 insurance and delivery confirmation, from CT to TX was
about $35.

With wheels/tires, I've found Fedex to be cheaper than UPS. 4 off road tires cost $100 where UPS was wanting $215. I also sold my C5 wheels and tires on the forum, and they too were right around $100.

I have used USPS or UPS ..costs about $25/wheel to most ZIP Codes...but rates have probably gone up..Just go to the USPS and FEDX or UPS sites and you can look up the rates based on weight and zip code...compare all three..pick a zip code far from where you live for the max price and estimate from there.

I shipped a set of tires/wheels and used DHL. They did a very good job taking care of them and they arrived on time. If I remember right, the cost was just a bit over $100.

usps, ups or fedex...shipping is no problem. Post in your add that shipping will be added and is around 150-200. This is known and accepted when buying/selling wheels.
