Try someone like Interlink Express or TNT, I use them all the time. Should have thought £20 - £30 will cover it.

Try these guys, I had something bulky and reasonably heavy delivered by them (forget what it was now)and I remember the charge was quite reasonable.

All depends on the wheel. 14KG each with out tires seems a lot though.

Try one of the Pallet carriers - Pallex, Palletways, Palletlines, UK Pallets etc.

Most of them will turn up to collect and palletise the wheels for you and offer next day or economy service which will be 2 -3 days.

All of them will have local agents close to collection / delivery place that would be able to quote door/door pricing.

Best of luck
