If its just the wheels on their own, then perhaps 2 parcels sent by www.parcel2go.com would be alright?

£10.56 for up to £25kg.... ( x 2 obviously for 4 wheels unless they're SUPER lightweight)

Havent used them myself, but its an idea......

Hummm, id guess at 18kg ish per wheel (with tyre) mate

Definetly NOT less than 12.5kg thats for sure, so it will have to be 4 seperate parcels. D'oh!!!

I expect theres a cheaper way than that somewhere...
