Getting ready to ship my wheels...need advice
I measured my stock WRX wheels and they have a diameter of about 25 inches, the closest box size to that is 24x24x20 (for two wheels) since its an inch to small the next thing up is a 27x27x24 which is a lot bigger BUT i may be able to fit 3 of them in that box though...or do u think i can squeeze the wheels into that 24" box?? i need help asap!!! i need to ship these things out today or tomorrow latest!
Thanks,
Zoeb

What I've done in the past (and it works fine) is to cut out two cardboard circles per wheel. Make the circles the same diameter as the tire, namely about 24.5" in the case of WRX tires.
Then tape or strap the two cardboard pieces on the sides of the tire/wheel. Be generous in the amount of strap or tape!
Just label up the pieces of cardboard and you're set!

If I wanted a "faster" car I would have bought a WRX. I figured I'd get the rims I wanted now, save for better tires later.

Like Suby Dude said, get a hold of some wheel boxes. Most wheel shops/ car shops just throw them out anyway, they will give them to you for free. Then you can find the proper size I'm sure. I don't think putting two or three wheels in one box is a good idea.
