It may well be that the wheel is shipping at a heavier weight because the total dimensions exceed 84"
That would have to be a box of 20x20x13, which is big for a single wheel

Andre I ran the shipping calculator on Fedex and cheapest is 2 wheels in one box(or 2 boxes taped together)
His coming up with 14# EACH more is whats BS.
I sent him another email offering to use my Fed Ex account,all he has to do is get some wheel boxes from a tire store,pad the chrome front and stick my prepaid label on it,drop off at Fed Ex.
If he doesnt want to do this to complete the sale I smell a scam.

The seller is probably lazy & got a quote from local packer/shipper type joint to buy their boxes & for them to package & ship the wheels. Squirrels like that need to be beat senseless. If you have a Fed Ex acct, it might be worth shipping him 2 HD boxes & a call tag, that way, he gets the proceeds of the sale & you pay for what the true shipping costs are. Not sure how that will work with eBay, eBay has irked me so much in the last 5 years I rarely list parts for sale.
