This may have been posted before (I searched and didn't find anything) and some of you may have seen this before, but I just learned it and it works really well!

Use playing card to mask off tires when painting wheels with the tires still mounted. I can't remember how many times I've painted wheels and just used masking tape to keep overspray off the tires. I always got some overspray on the tires.

Jiust a pro tip I thought I'd share.

Ya Scoop, I tried that on my buddy's wheels with plasti dip. Works really well.

Your wheels turned out sweet!

Those cards look like that have been used for that card trick more than once. I like it, and those wheels did clean up well!
