does it cost less to ship rim/tires with no air inside ?

Wouldn't make any significant difference in price for shipping, thats for sure.

Depends on if it's summer air or winter air-
As you probably already know, colder air is denser = heavier.
As well, if your tires were filled in the winter, it would be a good thing to replace with summer air = instant horsepower! You aren't dragging around all that damn heavy winter air!
Hey- I know! Up here, Costco now fills their new tire sale installs with nitrogen- maybe you could take the tires/wheels to Party City and have them filled with helium and just FLOAT the dang things over to your house.
(Tip: wet fingertip and check the air currents first, or they may end up in like, Canada. Then, Border Control would get involved, Homeland Security taps your cell phone and tells W all about you, your checking account is monitored and your dealer gets busted- and you wouldn't what THAT, would ya?)
