Thanks for posting those pics. Ive been on the fence about doing my wheels. Its a blacked out Z, too. I stopped by the plastidip shop and they recommended spraying the wheels on the car because the lug nuts would have a tendency to peel the paint when torqued. Did you have any peeling issues? I too would rather just pull the wheels off then worry about masking everything.
BTW Looks good!

I would recommend pulling wheels of the car.
Make sure that you get your self Spray Trigger its only $9 (day and nigh difference)

For the lug nuts i would NOT re use stock since once you paint them they are gonna be hard to put on and they might be stick ...

I got my self a set form west coast corvette and they come with Wheel Locks

Nice... You do good work man. And the Viper "blocked" in the driveway by Chevys is worth a chuckle too.

Looks like a risky way to jack up your car...

Did you put the Plasi Dip Glossifier on already because it doesnt look like it... If I were you I would get Matte Clear, It looks a lot better imo and it prevents the white streak you would get if you drag your finger across the rim....
