My mate lives in Malawi, and got me to get him some new wheels from a trusted wheel builder back here. I'm now trying to figure out how to get them out to him. Started whith DHL and Parcel Force, and was quoted stupid money (£300-£700) because the size gives a large volumetric weight.

Any body got any suggestions?

find soemone goign there who can take them as excess baggage on a flight.

anything with freight's going to be a nightmare due to parcel size plus I'd imagine customs isn't going to be cheap/quick either.

they'd pack smaller dismantled but that rather defeats the object I guess...

Yep, your right, that would defeat the object, whole point was to get some bomber touring wheels to cope with African roads from a local wheel bulding guru.
