or get them to weigh it or what?

I personally have never posted wheels. However if you go to this website...
http://www.parcelnow.co.uk/
and fill in the details. and you can pay by paypal. then hey presto.

if you have bathroom scales then use them. if not, walk into the post office with a wheel and bung it on the scales, and ask ho much it would cost to post. check the weight then walk back out.

According to ETK 15" BBS weighs 7.38kilo each, so x by four and you can find exact price from the sites already mentioned.
