Call Greyhound. They're a shipping alternative sometimes.

I'd guess the wheels at 25lbs a piece.

The stock Sahara rims are 28 lbs and the stock tires are 42 lbs.

Greyhound will ship them since they weigh under 100 lbs each.

But' I found the best prices are freight companies. However, you will need the NMFC code, which used to be freely distributed are now for sale. It just makes getting competitive bids more difficult. I*believe* the freight class for wheels (with tires) is 77.5.

I recently shipped 4 wheels that were approximately the same size but probably weighed a little less for $125 through fed-ex. there was an extra fee for not being in boxes. It helped me by strapping 2 wheels together to make a total of 2 packages. I think shipping the 4 wheels separately was going to cost like $45 each
