You could try a couple of courier companies - DHL and the like. Alternatively, Stena have a one-day return fare from Dún Laoghaire to Holyhead for around €100.

I was looking at new wheels from a company in Somerset who offer delivery of them for £35 with Parcelforce I think. May be of some help.

Royal Mail may well be the cheapest option.

Mine were delivered from Belfast by Parcelforce.

They were packaged individually but delivered together.

Would have been funny if one went missing.

Did you go over as a foot passanger, meet the seller, stuck them on a trolley for the return journey ?

Fair dues to you if you did!!

Yeah left the trolley in hollyhead....wheels went through the belt...customs just waved me through laughin.

No trolleys at dublin so I had to lift em out 2 at a time......A lot of work but saved about €150 from getttin a courier.

Fair play to ya! How much was the fare to wales?
Is that an astra coupe, wheels look well.

Have to say well done. I think those tht were originlly suggesting this were thinking you'd bring the car!!!!
Car looks good with them, don't go too mad on the lowering though, just a small bit.
