Default Im stumped. Help Please

Hey guys i want to powder coat my rims. found a buddy that can do it for 40 a wheel but here is my problem. I have to get him my wheels. So what do i do? Have the tire shop take off the wheels and then take off the rims. Now what do i do with the z? Any solutions? None of the tire shops around here will let me leave it there for a week obviously. Im stumped.

Make 3 18inch disks out of plywood (double thick) and drill lug bolt holes. Use the spare for the last hub.

Issue solved. You are welcome.

Just jack your car up for a couple days and find another transportation method. I'm assuming you have at least a couple friends that would be willing to give you and ride here and there, just don't abuse it!

Just spray paint your wheels, just don't get any on the tires. If you're worried about getting it on the tires, use a brush.
