Default Wheel and Tire Shipping. Help!

Long story short, I'm selling a set of wheels and I need to find out a shipping company that's not gonna rape my ass on cost. I'm looking for any place around stafford or fairfax area.
And if anyone have an estimate of how much companies usually charge please let me know.
Thanks.

FYI- it's an 18 x 9.5 with 245/40 tires.

Oh that's not bad, I was quoted like high $200's, close to 3. Do they have big enough boxes or we have to pack them ourselves?

I packed mine like how tirerack ships theirs. Not in a box but with a protective cover on both sides of the wheel and then tape face to face two wheels together with a lot of packing tape.
